Frontline teams in suicide prevention, domestic abuse, and crisis lines operate in some of the most emotionally intense environments imaginable. Yet many of the strategies they use to protect, support, and retain their teams are surprisingly practical—and adaptable—for contact centers in any industry.
In this virtual WFH Alliance session, we’ll explore how crisis line organizations intentionally support frontline staff who manage heavy, emotionally charged conversations and discuss how those same concepts can be scaled and adapted for contact centers that may not face true crisis situations, and often do not have access to clinical teams.
This is not a therapy session and not a wellness webinar. It’s a practical, leader-to-leader conversation about what actually works when the work gets heavy.
Attendees will leave with practical ideas they can test, clearer language for talking about emotional load at work, and a better understanding of how to support frontline teams without overstepping roles or resources.
We’ll be joined by Melanie Corwin who has a Master's Degree in Public Health and has gained first hand experience working at 988 and at The Trevor Project, two nation-wide crisis lines. She works to create spaces for authentic connection and healing, whether through movement, technology, or community. By bridging innovation with human experience, she helps others find their path to wellbeing while nurturing her own continuous growth through creative expression and meaningful support of others.
