[humanser] H. S. working with perspective place of employment

[Reyazuddin, Yasmin]

Hi Lisa, 
About 15 years ago, I was a volunteer at our local supportive listening hotline, which was funded by the county but run by a not for profit. People could use the computer screen to track the call but I had no problem with this task. There was another volunteer with me to answer calls and we had a supervisor. I had to remember some important phone numbers and the manager gave me this information on a disc which I transferred into Braille. 
During my first day I had a suicide call and my task was to alert the other volunteer without breaking up with the caller. I asked the caller descriptive questions and the volunteer heard me. He alerted the supervisor and also tracked the call. 
You should be able to get the binder in Braille or digital format without any challenges. Be your own advocate and it will work out.

Hi All, 

 

I would like to apply for a warm line position with a local mental health organization. Yesterday I learned that the warm line resource binder is only available in print. Here are my questions. 

 

How do I approach the perspective employer knowing that there are costs involved with digitizing this information? 

 

The non-for-profit agency receives County and state funding. Are there funding sources available to assist this agency? 

 

I appreciate any suggestions. 

 

Lisa Irving
