There was a core of highly skilled volunteers that is now entirely gone over the last 2 years. She still volunteers because she wants to be there if a teen calls.
This is emotionally draining work when done right and it shouldn’t be done full time by 20 year olds.
A friend of mine is doing this now, after being helped herself by an operator times ago. She's giving back now that she's in a better place and yeah I'm... impressed too.

My wife has had the exact same experience.

Saving a life of a child, by volunteering to answer a phone call. That’s impressive.
