"Sometimes it hurts too much not to talk... That's the worst, when the secret stays locked up for want of an understanding ear."

The Listening Ear Crisis Intervention Center has been open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year since July 15, 1969. We provide free and confidential service for telephone and walk-in clients in crisis. We define crisis as "any situation in which your normal coping mechanisms are ineffective or unavailable." Our volunteers are trained to deal with crises that include depression, suicide, loneliness, sexual assault, grief, and many others. We also provide referrals for services throughout the Lansing area. (The referral database will open in a new window). We have an all-volunteer staff. Volunteers receive more than 60 hours of training before ever picking up the phone. All director and coordinator positions are filled by volunteers. Many staff members choose to receive additional training in order to join oursexual assault counseling staff or to become trainers themselves. New Volunteer Orientation and Training dates have been set. To view them, click on Calendar. The second annual d'Ear 10k Trail Race is scheduled for Saturday, October 31 at 10:00 am. Last year's run at Lake Lansing North park was incredible! Come join us for a terrific time -- Costumes welcome and chili at the finish! To register, click here. To volunteer at the race, click here.
