=Introduction=

Do you have a friend who you just don't know how to help? Has anyone ever confessed to you that they want to kill themselves? What did you say to them? About 9.5% of the U.S. population, age 18 and older, have a depressive disorder in a given year. Learn the facts, the myths, and the information necessary to help people 'Speak Up'.

=Task=

You have just started volunteering for a local crisis center. Right now you're just learning the ropes, getting to know the staff, training to work the crisis hotline by researching and finding resources. So far, everything has been going okay, but then you are told by the director of the center, that they will be short staffed tonight and they need you to help answer calls. This is your big chance to prove to the staff that you've been researching how to handle any crisis. You still have a little time to keep researching what kinds of calls you might receive and how best to help the caller. You're confident that by tonight, no matter what the problem, you will be able to help any person who calls. The director, staff, and callers are counting on you!

=Conclusion=

Awesome job! Thank you for helping these callers know that it's okay to 'Speak Up'. Because of your research and dedication, these people can feel comfortable to get the help they need, and you now know how to deal with any crisis that comes your way.
