CONTACT of Ocean & Monmouth Counties

CONTACT of Ocean and Monmouth Counties, a non profit, charitable organization, provides trained telephone listeners who respond to human needs 24 hours every day. This volunteer based organization offers free confidential crisis intervention, information on available resources, and referral to community services.

CONTACT is simply people helping people. CONTACT volunteers field calls in a caring, non-judgmental manner. It is CONTACT's belief that each of us has the ability to use our own energy to find solutions. Through intensive training volunteers develop empathetic listening skills to help callers determine their feelings, identify options, and find their strengths to resolve problems. We also make referrals, when appropriate, to various community services that are available to the caller.

NEXT TRAINING SESSION BEGINS THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 2019, ONCE A WEEK FOR 12 WEEKS 6:30 - 9:30 PM EVERY THURSDAY. THIS WILL BE HELD AT THE CHELSEA, 458 JACK MARTIN BLVD., BRICK, NJ 08724.
