What We Do
Lines for Life is a regional nonprofit dedicated to preventing substance abuse and suicide and promoting mental wellness. Our work addresses a spectrum of needs including intervention, prevention and advocacy. We offer free, confidential crisis intervention and referral services 24 hours a day, seven days a week by phone on several crisis helplines. Our compassionate staff and volunteers answered over 150,000 calls in 2020. How can volunteers help? Volunteers answer calls to our crisis and referral hotlines. They provide an essential safety net by offering informed, compassionate responses to callers and de-escalating crisis situations with support from supervisors. Our exemplary volunteers have an empathetic and non-judgmental attitude, willingness to learn best practices in de-escalation and referral and the ability to make a year-long commitment.
