john, wanda and james

i'm spending the afternoon with some good friends here at Crisis Connection. I've been volunteering here for over 3 years, taking calls from people who need help for some reason or another.

today has been a bit busy for us here. there have been lots of calls about drug addiction/use. seems like there's a lot of that in the calls here. We had one suicidal call where we had to send the police to the residence. makes me feel better about the state of things in my own life.

john, wanda and james are great to work with, they are brilliant at what they do. by the end of a shift i tend to get a litte raw, a little down. they're excellent at keeping my spirits up as we take calls. it's best to keep the shifts short around here.
