SURREY CRISIS LINE

Loneliness, depression,alcoholism and drug abuse are just
some of the problems facing callers to Surrey's Crisis Line.
Others call to discuss personal turmoil in their family
lives or work situations.

 

Trained volunteer counsellors are available 24 hours a day
to listen to callers' concerns and to provide referrals
when appropriate. At times, experienced counsellors are
available to offer short-term counselling.

The primary focus of the Crisis Line is to offer a caring
and nonjudgmental ear to callers, helping them to explore
a problem but not to solve it for them. Volunteers are
chosen for their abilities and willingness to learn how to
develop skills of caring and listening.

A comprehensive group training program for new volunteers
is soon to get underway in order to ease a shortage of
Crisis Line volunteers. Successful volunteer applicants
will go through the training program and subsequently
agree to be available for a 3-hour session on the tele-
phones per week.

Workshops will be run at intervals during the year to in-
crease the skills of both new and experienced volunteers.

If you care about people's problems and would be able to
spend a few hours per week helping them, you are invited
to apply for the next training session, beginning soon.

Call 584-5811 for an appointment to discuss your application.
