may participate in the program's training sessions.
Selection of outreachors is made only after training is
"Detachment is. requited in training," Collins said,
because it is possible for a worker to get too
emotionally involved in the call.
Outreacher Robin agreed. "There is a danger of
empathizing too much with the person and his
problems."
Collins explained that "creative listening, trying to
go beyond what the person is saying and getting to
the problem," is one of an outreacher's most
important skills.
Using problem solving techniques and recognizing
when a professional is needed also are important,
Allison added.
However, "Success on trie phone is not necessarily
judged by a warm feeling or the phrase, 'Gee, you've
really helped meP"
Robin said she viewed Outreach as "a valuable
service students can reach out to without having
connotations of being 'sick' attached to them.
They're doing something about a particular
problem."
In the two-and-one-half years Outreach has
existed, there have been changes in the way the
public views Outreach and in the way Outreachers
view themselves, Grant said.
Calls "have moved to more emotional and
relationship type cf problems," and away from the
strictly information, time-of-day calls, she said.
Most recent statistics show that about 40 per cent
of the calls are emotionally related, 30 per cent
medically related and only about 25 per cent
informational.
This is a change from the 20 per cent emotionally
related, 45 per cent medically oriented and 30 per
cent general information cails during the same period
in 1971.
The number of calls has increased by about 90 per
cent since last January. The number of "walk-ins,"
persons who visit the Center itself, also has increased
substantially, Grant said.
She credited publicity and increased student
awareness of the program for the increases and types
of calls received.
"Outreach has grown up a lot" since its beginnings
in 1971, according to Chuck. The staff has "more
people knowing what they're doing, who are able to
communicate with each other."
