  <description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode of DCO Discourse, Lexie sits down with DCO's Executive Director, Dr. Neta Gear, and Board Vice Treasurer, Diwa Satkunanathan, for a conversation about leadership, governance, and the future of Distress and Crisis Ontario.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Together, they discuss what inspired their involvement in the distress and crisis sector, the important role DCO's Board of Directors plays in supporting the organization, and what makes DCO's work unique across Ontario. They also provide an inside look at the development of DCO's newly adopted 2026–2031 Strategic Plan, exploring the collaborative planning process, the priorities that will guide the organization over the next five years, and their vision for strengthening support for DCO's member centres and the communities they serve.&lt;/p&gt;
