Christopher has helped launch basically all of the national suicide programs. These include the Suicide Prevention Resource Center, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, Veterans Crisis Line and CrisisChat.org.  He established the initial Facebook/Suicide prevention partnership and co-wrote the Facebook policy on suicide in 2005.

Chris was an Aspen Institute Scholar and an Aspen Challenge presenter. He was also a 2012 and 2014 TED Prize finalist. Having launched these national and international programs, he's now looking to fill in the gaps - to find what's missing in our mental health system and create tools through which communities can support their own systems of healing and care.
