Roles We Hire For With Partner Programs
“`Crisis Team Member (Family Support During a Crisis)
This is a hands-on role focused on practical, non-clinical support for a peer’s family when a crisis hits—so caregivers can focus on safety and next steps. Examples of support may include:
- Transportation coordination (rides to appointments, pharmacy pickup, school pickup logistics)
- Child-care support coordination (help arranging trusted coverage, school communication support)
- Meal support (planning simple meals, coordinating grocery runs, organizing meal trains)
- Household stabilization (basic errands, essential supplies, short-term routines)
- Resource navigation (connecting families to local supports and partner services)
Scope note: Crisis Team Members are not clinicians and do not provide medical advice. If someone is in immediate danger, the priority is contacting local emergency services or a crisis hotline.
