Listening to help not fix problems at Headquarters
Nishon Hawkins volunteers one evening a week at Headquarters a crisis center founded in 1969 by Kansas University students. The center handles 24 hour counseling in Douglas County and routes Kansas calls to the National Death by Own Action Prevention Line, relying on 35 to 40 volunteers. Hawkins recalls her mother as an early influence and stresses the value of listening, humor, and empathy in comforting distraught callers. In 2012 Headquarters fielded 24,000 calls and seeks more volunteers, with an August info session and September to November training.
