Accreditation Canada / Health Standards Organization is seeking individuals with experience in crisis intervention, mental health support services, and trauma informed care to join our Crisis and Distress Lines Technical Committee.
The Crisis and Distress Lines Technical Committee (TC037) develops standards for crisis line services, supporting the nationwide 9-8-8 suicide prevention and emotional distress helplines. The Technical Committee addresses all aspects of crisis line delivery from governance and training to intervention protocols and technology. The Technical Committee also focuses on equitable access, cultural safety, and continuous quality improvement to promote the support of all Canadians to immediately accessible crisis and distress supports.
HSO seeks applicants with expertise in crisis intervention, mental health support services, and trauma-informed care. Candidates that will stand out include those with a demonstrated understanding of the challenges and opportunities for quality improvement in national helpline implementation and the evolving crisis care landscape.
