Lifeline Central West Crisis Support Services manager Stephanie Robinson said the organisation would hold an information session and training for anyone interested in joining.
“Basically in the Central West our target is to answer around 2000 calls a month which is a pretty huge aim and we need enough people to answer these calls,” Mrs Robinson said.
As part of the recruitment drive, the organisation will hold a weekend of training that includes Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training.
Mrs Robsinson said there will also be an information session on August 23 at 6pm at the Lifeline office in William Street.
The intensive weekend of training will begin on September 2 and 3 and will be followed by eight weeks of sessions each Monday at 6pm from September 11.
To register for the information session or training email info@lifelinecentralwest.org.au or phone 1300 798 258.
