Abstract
This study examined 102 crisis line workers’ feelings and experiences related to their work during the COVID-19 pandemic. There was a slight tendency for participants to feel strains (e.g., stress, pressure) in their work, but a moderate tendency to experience positives (e.g., sense of community, appreciation) due to their work.
