Lifeline Creates Subcommittee for Consumers and Survivors to Advise On Most Effective Ways to Reach and Serve People in Suicidal Crisis

The original entity was called the Consumer-Recipient Subcommittee (CRS), and was the first national suicide prevention advisory group to include both survivors of suicide attempts and suicide loss, The Consumer Survivor Subcommittee reviews standard network practices, marketing materials, evaluations of network coverage, and caller demographics to ensure that the Lifeline is effectively reaching critical and diverse populations at higher risk for suicide. This subcommittee submits their recommendations to both Lifeline leadership and the Lifeline Steering Committee.
