Advisory Boards
Advisory boards provide their insight and advice to make us better and stronger. Advisory boards offer thought leadership, but have no governing power or fiduciary responsibilities. As part of our leadership transition, we are in the process of revising our advisory boards.
Clinical Advisory Board
Our Chief Program Officer convenes this advisory board to collaborate on standards and policies that improve volunteer Crisis Counselor training and texter support.
Data, Ethics, and Research Advisory Board
Our Director of Research leads this team of scientists, experts, and researchers from top universities and orgs. They advise us on data privacy and security and help us develop compelling research questions.
Legal & Public Safety Advisory Boards
We also maintain a Legal Advisory Board and Public Safety Advisory Board. These teams are led by our General Counsel, and they advise us on legal and regulatory topics as well as law enforcement and public safety policy questions.
