Since 1969, the
Headquarters Counseling Center in Lawrence has helped people with crisis support and suicide prevention. Four decades into its mission, the place remains volunteer-driven, which means it always needs high-quality staff. "HQCC is looking for empathetic, caring and nonjudgmental adults to join our volunteer counselor staff," says Kristine Chapman, volunteer director. "We offer extensive training for volunteers to handle the wide range of issues people contact us about. Previous experience is not needed." Find out more when HQCC holds an informational meeting from 6 to 7:15 p.m. at the Lawrence Public Library (707 Vermont, 785-843-3833). For more information, see
