At Telecare Crisis and Caring Line, we are expanding our phone support and introducing chat support to connect with the younger generation.
We need your help.
In recent times, the rates of social anxiety and depression among young people have significantly increased. Therefore, we are actively looking for
dedicated volunteers like you who can lend an ear and provide support to struggling teens and young adults.
Training will commence on January 22nd at 7 p.m. through a video conference. To gather more information, please visit our website: Volunteer with Telecare or scan the QR code below.
May God bless you as you contemplate joining our team.
Sincerely,
Bill Strom
Executive Director

You have so much to gain.
