Community Care needs volunteers

DURHAM — Community Care Durham needs volunteers to train for its COPE mental health program. Mature men and women are needed, says Janice Croft of Community Care Durham, to work in one-to-one support positions and as group assis- tants. All volunteers are provided with an eight-session training course, called Basic Helping and Communications Skills, to help prepare them for this sensitive work. Volunteer training begins March 3 in Oshawa. For more information call Janice Kroft at 905-623-4123.
