Meet Our Team
Our brilliant team of staff and volunteers give their all to the mission and the community they serve—from our helpline heroes and peer support facilitators, to our marketing specialists and content editors, and so many others. We couldn’t do all that we do without our team of mental health advocates. They are passionate about the work they do on our teams: helpline support, peer support, administration, human resources and marketing communications. They are invaluable!
