This is some of the greatest autistic fun there is...
The Friends & Family Camp is designed around the needs of those living with autism. Parents and caregivers can bring their loved ones with autism or other intellectual disabilities and relax with them over the weekend, knowing that they are in a safe and nurturing environment.
The Camp is KindTree’s founding event and the only event of its kind since 1997. The curriculum is a flexible but reliable balance of structured and non-structured activities, with picture schedules to accommodate autists’ visual and concrete way of thinking.
Scheduled activities include arts and crafts, karaoke, piñata, campfires, late night movies, concerts, talent show, outdoor games, swimming and canoeing on Siltcoos Lake, and more.
It is a time for rejuvenation and solidarity. Autists are accepted and enjoyed for themselves, not forced into a procrustean neuro-normal mold. Autists and neuro-normal people get to know each other. Magic happens.

Join more than 75 volunteers and 100+ guests as we all enjoy the beautiful Boy Scouts’ Baker Camp facility just a bit south of Florence Oregon, the company of your friends, and the opportunity to serve people on the autism spectrum, their families and caregivers. Crews include Kitchen (the best food ever), Dishwashing (so fun!), Activities (arts & crafts & campfires & games & more), Entertainment (talent show & karaoke & concerts), Registration (pre-event work & wheelbarrow wranglers & greeters & assistants), and Vibe (keeping everyone safe and happy).

If you are a student looking for volunteer opportunities with people experiencing Intellectual Disabilities, or a professional looking to serve in more fun ways than doing paperwork behind a desk or screen, or just a person who loves helping, camping, and working together, this is a great opportunity to spend a long weekend enjoying the outdoors, the great food, and working a total of just 12 hours or so. The majority of our volunteers return year after year. Come find out why. https://kindtree.org/calendar/camp/volunteering-at-camp/

The NAMI HelpLine is contacted over 70,000 times a year by people across the U.S. who are affected by mental illness and in need of help. HelpLine Information and Resource Referral Specialists provide a vital service to the NAMI community by responding with empathy to inquiries by phone, SMS/chat, and social media posts, and by providing valuable information about mental health conditions and treatment options, NAMI education and support programs, and other mental health resources.

NAMI HelpLine Specialists help individuals and families improve their lives and advance mental health recovery by listening to their concerns and connecting them with essential resources and services. They extend empathy, understanding, respect and emotional support to everyone contacting the NAMI HelpLine. In return, HelpLine Specialists also develop a deep understanding of the mental health landscape, mental illnesses, treatment options and recovery strategies. They will also experience the sincere appreciation and gratitude expressed by the individuals, families, and caregivers they serve.

Serving Remotely:
Currently, all HelpLine Specialists are working from their homes, apartments or dorms and connecting with help seekers using NAMI's cloud-based communications platform by computer-based phone, SMS/chat, and email. Specialists are required to have access to a computer with the most-recent operating system (Mac, PC or Linux) as well as high-speed internet.

Onboarding:
Working with help seekers on the NAMI HelpLine is extremely rewarding, and yet at times, challenging. This requires a commitment to completing a three-week onboarding designed to prepare you to confidently and positively address the diverse needs presented by help seekers. Throughout your onboarding experience, you will complete rewarding online instructional content, interactive exercises, knowledge checks and a final test prior to joining as a member of the NAMI HelpLine Specialist Team.

Minimum Time Commitment Requirements:
Please note the following time commitment requirements-
A minimum of one, 4-hour shift per week for a minimum duration of six months.
All HelpLine Specialist shifts are fulfilled during regular HelpLine hours within Shift #1: 10am - 2pm; Shift #2: 2 - 6pm; or Shift #3: 6 - 10pm Mon-Fri, Eastern Standard Time

Ongoing Support:
The NAMI HelpLine team strives to create a supportive "virtual" community for our Specialists!  Ongoing support is provided throughout each shift via cloud-based technology, and our staff and interns participate daily in two mid-day Zoom meetings to share experiences and information, and to answer questions. In addition, our staff routinely observe and provide coaching support throughout each HelpLine Specialist's time on HelpLine.

Professional Qualifications:
A student or professional of mental health, and/or someone with "lived," personal experience - either as a person living with a mental health condition or as someone caring for a loved one living with a mental health condition.
Excellent communication skills (oral and written), particularly in listening and ability to convey a respectful, empathetic tone, over the phone, email, or SMS/chat communication.
Analytical ability with problem-solving skills and resourcefulness for assessing a help seeker's needs and finding correct resources in a timely manner.
Basic knowledge of mental illnesses, treatments, recovery, and mental health care systems with an interest in learning more.
Ability to conduct basic internet research quickly while simultaneously managing a phone conversation or SMS/Chat session.
Verbal bilingual English/Spanish ability strongly welcomed.

Personal Qualities:
Demonstrated reliability, professionalism, and punctuality.
Respect and compassion for people affected by mental health conditions with desire to help
Ability to manage emotionally stressful situations with positive spirit and open-mindedness.
Passion and availability to learn about mental health conditions, resources, and behavioral health system.
Willingness to take initiative to seek help when needed, and ability to accept and implement constructive feedback.
