Make CONTACT
- and Make Someone's Day!
Imagine that for some reason, you are
confined to your home, you live alone and
you are unable to get out on a regular
basis. You often go days or even weeks
without seeing another person, without
anyone to ask you how you are today, or to
notice that you are sick or well, happy or
sad. Now imagine that you wake up in the
morning knowing that a
CONTACT volunteer is going to
call you today, just to make sure you are
okay and to have a friendly chat.
CONTACT
Volunteers make meaningful social contact
with people who are lonely and isolated
everyday, through our Reassurance Call
Program.
Imagine that life has dealt you a powerful,
difficult blow. You are in emotional crisis,
but you don't feel safe talking about your
problem with anyone you know. You are
isolated and afraid and don't know where to
turn. Now imagine that you know you can call
someone who will listen to you anonymously,
confidentially and compassionately over the
phone. This person does not judge you, but
helps you explore your own thoughts,
feelings, concerns and choices.
CONTACT
Crisis/Help Line Volunteers are caring,
trained listeners who enrich and improve
their own lives and the lives and the lives
of the people around them every day!
