Postvention and Suicide Prevention Advisor

Dr. Frank Campbell is internationally known for developing the LOSS (Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors) Team model, a gold-standard approach that reframes grief as a critical moment for healing and prevention.

At Cynosure Connect, Dr. Campbell serves as a clinical and ethical advisor, ensuring our systems are grounded in the human realities of trauma, loss, and recovery—not just data points or algorithms.
While not a technologist himself, Dr. Campbell brings unmatched expertise in recognizing maladaptive behavioral patterns—withdrawal, isolation, avoidance—and translating those into actionable insights for community response and care teams. His work informs the behavioral pattern recognition that underpins Cynosure’s AI-driven alerts and postvention strategies, ensuring that what we detect is clinically meaningful and ethically actionable.

He champions the role of peer presence, compassionate response, and ritualized support—principles that our platform amplifies through responsible innovation. His guidance keeps our focus on what matters most: recognizing suffering before it becomes fatal, and delivering connection when it’s needed most.
“Technology must never replace human presence—but it can help us recognize when presence is needed.” — Dr. Frank Campbell

Dr. Campbell’s voice shapes how we blend automation with humanity, ensuring that every predictive model is tethered to the lived experiences of those who’ve survived loss, and every intervention holds space for dignity, meaning, and healing.
