Didi Hirsch’s new Teen Line Career Development Initiative partners with select LA County high schools that have diverse student bodies. Students from under-represented backgrounds undergo 65 hours of intensive, on-campus training before working as volunteer Listeners for Teen Line, a peer-to-peer hotline providing empathy and support to youth in need. Listeners are encouraged to pursue future mental health careers, so that tomorrow’s teens will benefit from a more diverse set of clinicians who truly understand their communities and identities.
