Question

How can I find a job that involves helping people in crisis situations, specifically with suicide prevention?

Answer 1

check with a local rehab clinic or the police or the hospital one of these people will be able to point you in the right direction. and good for you the world needs more of you alot more

Answer 2

If you are not willing to volunteer, chances are they cannot use you. Most of the suicide prevention bureaus are staffed with volunteers, with maybe a professional social worker or psychologist on staff to train and assist them. They have tiny budgets and cannot afford to pay people. The ones with larger budgets, as in big cities, will sometimes create staff positions which are then given to long-time volunteers who get into financial difficulties and cannot continue to help them unless they have a salary. But they are already volunteers.

Answer 3

Call 411

Answer 4

Why not call mental health professionals in your area and ask their receptionists for resources?

Answer 5

you are way too naive.. go back to school and get an education. then you can get paid for social work.

Answer 6

Call them, and tell them that your gonna kill yourself unless you get a job there.

Answer 7

Most of these suicide prevention agencies are often underfunded, meaning most people on the phones do not get paid.. . The agencies are also very selective of who they pick to do this work and then after that, significant training is offered to the right candidate. From people I know who have done this, they found the work to be very rewarding.
