BHCST Advisory Committee

The individuals serving on the advisory committee represent a cross-section of our university community and have an interest and/or expertise in crisis response and behavioral health best practices. This group, which first convened in February 2021, met monthly during the initial phases of the project, and now meets quarterly. Feedback obtained during these meetings has helped inform decisions around hiring, programmatic processes, and design throughout each phase of project development.
