Public Notices/Announcements - Brockville/Prescott - Distress Centre Lanark, Leeds and Grenville

We are looking for Volunteers to be phone listeners on our Distress Line.

If you are non-judgmental and empathetic you have what it takes to do this job.

This confidential and anonymous service is provided by nonjudgmental and empathetic volunteers. It is based on an active listening model, which encourages individuals to help themselves through exploring their feelings and their options. Volunteers are trained to allow callers to talk about their issues, explore options with the callers and provide support.

The line is live every night from 5:00 pm to midnight. We offer two shifts a night either the "early shift from 4:30- 8:30 or the "late shift from 8pm till midnight".
