Fraser Health Crisis Line
Crisis Line volunteers respond to calls from individuals in need of emotional support, crisis intervention and community resource information. A small staff team supports and supervises a large, diverse and ever-changing group of more than 160 volunteer call-takers. Without volunteers, the Crisis Line could not operate 24/7.
