Crisis Volunteers support texters to the 24/7 free crisis text line, via their laptops from the comfort of their homes. Text About It 50808 is a textbased non-judgemental listening service. Texters reach out from all around Ireland, about everything from being at the height of a panic attack, being bullied at school, having relationship issues, and experiencing suicidal thoughts. Volunteers provide a safe space for texters to express and explore how they are feeling and support them to reach a point of calm. Miniumum hours: Training 30 hours over 6 weeks, then a 2-4 hour commitment per week as a volunteer.
