Description:
The Trevor Project is the only nationwide, around the clock, crisis and suicide prevention helpline for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender (LGBT), and questioning youth. We are currently looking for people to volunteer as Helpline Counselors at our Los Angeles Call Center.
Prior training in the field of mental health is not a requirement to become a Trevor Helpline Counselor. We provide a comprehensive four day training. The Training is intended to help you develop and refine your natural instincts and aptitudes to enable you to assist Callers during their individual crisis situations.
It is our intention to see each and every Trainee successfully complete the Helpline Training and become a full-fledged Helpline Counselor. To that end, we have created a Trevor Helpline Mentorship Program. Each of Trainees will be assigned a Senior Counselor as your Mentor to support you throughout Training and assist you as you begin to answer calls at the Call Center.
