As a volunteer, you will provide hotline callers with much-needed emotional support, information, and referrals, in addition to helping access resources when appropriate. You will receive comprehensive training in taking calls from students in a variety of sexual assault-related situations, orientation to UM’s varied resources for those who have been sexually victimized, and ongoing support from licensed mental health professionals at the Counseling Center. Training is required for new volunteers and will take place on January 28, 2022, via Zoom. If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please contact Dr. Audrey Cleary at 305-284-5511 or at a.cleary@miami.edu.
