SAHAI's team of committed volunteers include retired persons, teachers, homemakers, professionals and college students - people from all walks of life who are committed to saving lives. SAHAI volunteers undergo 30 hours of suicide prevention training conducted by professionals from NIMHANS and the Medico Pastoral Association, along with Rotary Bangalore east three of the help line's founding partners.

Volunteers are trained to help each caller ventilate, to respond without judging, and to guide the caller to address their problem. Volunteers learn how to listen pro-actively, and to recognize and assess signs of stress and depression.

If you want to help address the growing problem of suicide in Bangalore and would like to volunteer, please contact SAHAI . All we need is a couple of hours of your time at your own convenience.

Since 2 October 2002, we have conducted eleven Training Workshops for SAHAI volunteers and a total of 240 volunteers have been trained so far
