Become a CONTACT Crisis Line Specialist.

Are you looking for an opportunity that will be as rewarding for you as it is for those who reach out for help?

Do you have a knack for listening or would like to learn to listen more effectively? If you would like to learn to listen with empathy, respond with caring and support,  and provide unconditional acceptance — we invite you to become a Crisis Line Specialist.

CONTACT Care Line offers a unique “The Art of Active Listening” training program that includes online lectures and a more flexible schedule for the in-person portions of the training. We hope that this enables many of you to get involved in the wonderful practice of active listening.

Our in-person sessions will begin on Wednesday evening February 22nd at 7 – 9 PM and will continue meeting at that time on Wednesdays and also on Friday afternoons from 2-4 PM. We will offer 6 weeks of sessions ending on March 30 and you will need to plan on attending 5 of those 12 available sessions, or all 12 if you would like! You can attend Wednesdays or Fridays or some of both depending on your schedule needs. The location is Church Street United Methodist Church, 900 Henley Street, Knoxville, TN and the fee for this training is $50 or $60 for two.
