Volunteer

Crisis & Suicide Intervention Service – Volunteers are needed to take calls from individuals in crisis in the comfort and convenience of the volunteers’ own homes. Availability on weekends and/or overnights preferred. Extensive training is provided. Must commit to six hours a week for one year. 

Guardianship Program – MHAGI is currently responsible for the health care and medical decisions for over 50 persons with a mental illness or developmental disability. These individuals have no family or the family is unable to take that responsibility. Volunteers make visits to clients (once a month or more often if desired) to ensure that they are receiving proper care in nursing homes or other supervised care facilities.
