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.
Orientations for Winter 2008 are from January 24 to February 2 -- See Calendar for more details
