Here are some quotes from a former volunteer writing to us about her Hotline experience:
"It was really nice to hear from you. It made me realize again, that I miss volunteering for the line and how much I was able to give and gain with each call. I have so many memories and experiences that truly have helped me to become a better person and have prepared me for challenges in my life. In fact, last month I went through an intense application process to become a Student Health Advocate. I owe it in part for sure to my experience at the Crisis Line that I was accepted."
"I'm really excited to start this, and I thank you for the tremendous experience that was made available to me."
"Please take care of yourselves and all of the callers whose lives you touch so deeply."
