988-CareLine Training Series

The Ohio CareLine is an emotional support call line created by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services and answered by Ohio community agencies. We are pleased to provide this 988-CareLine Development Training Series. These free trainings are designed for 988, CareLine and crisis call line workers. In a generous partnership with The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, The Ohio State College of Social Work is presenting a series of free, online training opportunities to crisis call line workers.

Our objective is to provide both live and self-paced trainings that will help provide opportunities for professional development, increase confidence, expand individual knowledge bases, and enhance the existing skills of call line workers.
