What is counseling like at Walk-In?
Does someone you know have questions about what counseling is like? At Walk-In, whether in person or, since March 2020, by phone or computer, we've been providing these services for 52 years. Learn more about how counseling works at Walk-In by watching this interview with one of our volunteer counselors, Luci R.
Still virtual, but hoping for Sept. 1 for in-person counseling services!
Because of the time it takes to plan and schedule volunteers to go back in person + virtual, we had to decide NOT to be in person until Sept. 1, and that’s “hopefully”!

Though many organizations are back, they don’t have to ask volunteers to risk their health and that of loved ones to do so. (What does this say about asking the same of paid staff?!). It’s true, we’ll probably have to find a way to live with Covid 19 in the future, but we need to stay safe right now. It’s still out there. active, and many of us are not sure what the best action is!

Anyway, we’ll keep you informed. Just don’t tell your friends or loved ones to come to the door. No one’s there!

Have a great summer!
