CEO of Bullying Prevention Startup
One of the best interventions for chronic bullying is group therapy - an ideal setting to build social, problem-solving, and coping skills. Yet 98% of therapy is individual.
So why isn't there more group therapy?
- Sourcing groups of similar aged students available at the same time requires a pool of participants larger than most communities
- Students are reluctant to report bullying in the first place
Our approach is simple: zoom-based group therapy cohorts for bullying victims.
This solves both problems at once: cohorts are drawn from across the country, and no two attendees attend the same school. For providers, we handle the marketing and administrative overhead so they simply need to login and provide care, while earning a higher rate than they would at an individual session. For schools, we are a welcome resource they can share with parents.
It's already working: we've been supporting a bullying research clinic to pilot these groups for the past two years, and the results look great.
We are hiring a CEO to scale this program into a national organization helping hundreds of thousands of adolescents each year. This is a leadership role for someone with a few years experience in: management consulting, private equity, corporate law, or a venture backed startup. You should have a track record delivering at a high level across a wide variety of workstreams. Most importantly, you should be deeply passionate about bullying prevention.
Your goals for the first year:
- Set up all clinical, technology, compliance and office operations for a telehealth startup
- Develop a playbook for approaching school counselors across the country, encouraging them to share us as a resource to their parent community
- Develop a playbook for recruiting, evaluating and training group facilitators
- Hire a team to scale your efforts
- Work closely with our founder, who previously built and sold a large technology company, as well as our board of experts acrossing bullying research, telehealth and education
We offer attractive compensation and benefits. Although organized as a non-profit, we are a high performance organization aiming to recruit the best possible talent. There will be significant further upside for the management team able to scale this into a national organization.
