• Review crisis cases after they happen and identify what went well and what needs to improve
• Build and improve crisis response workflows and systems so they scale
• Train and coach staff on crisis response, de-escalation, and safety planning
• Partner with clinical and product teams to improve how crisis care is delivered across the platform
• Provide direct patient care in crisis intervention and/or post-crisis stabilization, including brief stabilization sessions or group support, as program needs evolve.
• Step in directly when needed to support high-acuity cases
