Steering Committee and Subcommittees
In 2005, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline announced the appointment of our Steering Committee and
subcommittees. The guidance that these individuals bring is invaluable in supporting our mission of reducing the
national incidence of suicide. To learn more about the roles and functions of the committees click
here.
Steering Committee
The Steering Committee provides the Lifeline's primary administrators with expert guidance on the issues that affect
the network. Members provide recommendations and advice that support the Lifeline's overall mission and work to enhance
its capacity to reach and serve persons throughout the United States who potentially could be suicidal. Before each
meeting members are given Lifeline updates to be discussed, subcommittee reports and, after each meeting, minutes are
published.
Consumer/Survivor Subcommittee
The Consumer Survivor Subcommittee (CSS) reviews standard network practices, marketing materials/promotional campaigns,
and evaluations of network coverage and caller demographics. Reports summarizing the CSS meetings are submitted to the
Steering Committee.
Standards, Training and Practices Subcommittee
The Standards, Training and Practices Subcommittee (STPS) identifies and recommends essential, minimum standards for network
member center credentialing and quality service. Reports summarizing the STPS meetings are submitted to the Steering Committee.
