Volunteers are an integral part of the staff at St. Joseph's Behavioral Health Center. Serving from the heart, volunteering is a labor of love, uncomplicated by salaries and budgets. Most of our volunteers assist in the Chemical Dependency Recovery Program.  These volunteers have usually experienced a recovery program themselves, continue in the recovery process, and volunteer to support others going through a similar process.  They find the volunteer experience enriches their own lives as well as the lives those they support. 
 
Volunteer applicants must agree to fullfill a 150-hour service committment. All new volunteers are required to complete orientation, training, health and criminal background screenings.
