Hey everyone!
I am writing to let you know about a volunteer opportunity that you'll be interested in.
Crisis Text Line is a 24/7 national hotline for people in crisis. What makes it unique is that it operates via text message. We have several hundred trained volunteers on our online platform answering texts -- over 7 million messages so far.
The reason I'm reaching out to you is this - people who are deaf, Deaf, and hard of hearing can have all of the characteristics and skills of a great crisis counselor, but many don't have to opportunity to meet that potential at a typical call center.
Crisis Text Line wants to make sure that the d/Deaf/Hoh communities are aware of this opportunity so that we can form a stronger relationship with these communities, so that we can continue to recruit the best possible crisis counselors, and so that we can improve our training to accommodate for a more diverse population of volunteers.
If you're interested in this, message me and I'd be thrilled to tell you more!
