Jeanette Langdell, Helpline Coordinator at NAMI-SCC, is our September 10 General Meeting presenter. Come learn the answers to questions such as: Why is it called a “Helpline”? Who calls us? What kinds of questions do we get? What kind of training does the staff receive?
The NAMI Helpline team assists thousands of callers every year. Our team provides caring, compassionate support and referrals to resources for individuals and families affected by mental health conditions. Helpline staff all have lived experience with mental illness. Help seekers feel understood—often for the first time—and experience a renewed sense of hope after talking with someone who really “gets it.” Two Helpline Specialists will speak about their experiences working on the Helpline.
Jeanette joined NAMI as a volunteer on the Helpline following a career as a program manager with NOVA and the City of Sunnyvale, where she managed various workforce development programs. She now oversees NAMI’s team of Helpline volunteers and staff. In her off-hours, Jeanette is an amateur flutist and a member of a performing salsa dance group.
