A coalition of thought leaders who help drive our collective missions forward
National Council of Leadership and Innovation (NCLI)
The Joyful Heart Foundation works tirelessly to transform society’s response to sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse by working to build a world that prioritizes survivors’ healing. To that end, we convened a group of national experts to serve as our National Council of Leadership and Innovation, a coalition of thought leaders from diverse backgrounds, fields and disciplines sharing perspectives, knowledge and strategies to help drive our collective missions forward.
The National Council of Leadership and Innovation also includes a Heal the Healers Grant Advisory subcommittee, which reviews and makes recommendations for our Heal the Healers Grantmaking Program, which provides financial support to first responders and other professionals responsible for survivors’ journeys to justice and healing.
