The #transneeds Listening Campaign was launched in September 2015 by a volunteer team to address the lack of data on the needs of transgender people. They conducted a social media listening campaign using Twitter and SMS to anonymously collect over 12,000 messages identifying concerns. The key issues raised included discriminatory barriers to basic needs like housing, healthcare, education, employment, and public accommodation. Respondents reported high rates of harassment, assault, poverty, unemployment, and suicide attempts. The team reported these findings to the White House with recommendations and showed that unconventional data collection through social media can help give voice to overlooked populations.

There are more than 400,000 children who have had to find a new home and many of them no longer have parents because they were killed or lost. Women and children need safe places so that they can be protected from violence and trafficking. There are now more than a million Rohingya people living in what was supposed to be a temporary camp which has turned into a huge city. It has been difficult providing them with enough resources like food and shelter. The best solution would be for these people to return home, but they are not welcome by the Myanmar government, and even if they were allowed back many of their villages have been burned down. They may need to focus on building a more permanent city where they are with help from the United Nations.
This crisis is horrible, but it is not the first time something like this has occurred. In the past, the United Nations said “never again” but tragedies have continued to occur. The international community is responsible for protecting the Rohingya to a certain extent, but there is only so much we can do to help them. We must put pressure on Myanmar to accept the people back. Genocide is never acceptable, and we must come up a plan of action to make sure it does not occur in the future. This includes educating every country and drawing a line in the sand with clear policies and sanctions for this behavior.

This document summarizes the author's journey from working as an emergency room doctor in France to becoming an entrepreneur who founded RARA Technologies. It describes how he gained experience working for human rights organizations in Haiti, documenting cases of political violence and helping victims. He then took on management roles with NGOs, learning from mentors about results-based management and reading books on business leadership.

The essay explores how graphic novels allow for examination of parent-child relationships and family through an analysis of Maus by Art Spiegelman and Persepolis by Marjani Satrapi. Both works focus on the relationships between children and their parents/grandparents set against the backdrop of significant historical events, with Maus centered on the Holocaust and Persepolis the Iranian Revolution. The graphic novel format facilitates exploration of complex family dynamics and intergenerational trauma.

The essay analyzes the argument that plea bargaining is an unethical practice that compromises justice. It acknowledges that plea bargaining aims to increase efficiency and reduce costs, but argues it allows guilty criminals to receive disproportionately light sentences. The essay cites the notorious case of Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo as an example, in which a plea bargain failed to adequately punish them for the rapes and murders of three teenage girls. In conclusion, plea bargaining does not serve the interests of justice or protect the innocent.
Mental Health: Navigating Political ConflictJulie Veloz
The document discusses creating an environment of psychological safety for employees during times of political conflict and unrest. It emphasizes the importance of communication, trust-building and ensuring all voices feel heard. Managers are encouraged to check in regularly with teams and celebrate courageous conversations. Recognizing that employees will have strong political beliefs and may feel demoralized, the focus should be on understanding different perspectives, finding common ground and taking pressure off productivity expectations. Resources are provided to help process external stress and promote mental health and well-being.
The crisis communication plan outlines how the Hopeful Paws organization will communicate internally and externally in the event of a crisis situation. The plan establishes a Crisis Communication Team that is responsible for coordinating the response. It identifies key public stakeholders that must be communicated with, such as donors, animal services, and local government. The plan also includes templates for press releases, social media responses, and consistent messaging to ensure a coordinated response that limits any reputational damage to the organization.
The world stands to lose close to 10% of total economic value by mid-century if climate change stays on the currently-anticipated trajectory, and the Paris Agreement and 2050 net-zero emissions targets are not met.
Many emerging markets have most to gain if the world is able to rein in temperature gains. For example, action today to get back to the Paris temperature rise scenario would mean economies in southeast Asia could prevent around a quarter of the gross domestic product (GDP) loss by mid-century that they may otherwise suffer. Our analysis in this report is unique in explicitly simulating for the many uncertainties around the impacts of climate change. It shows that those economies most vulnerable to the potential physical risks of climate change stand to benefit most from keeping temperature rises in check. This includes some of the world's most dynamic emerging economies, the engines of global growth in the years to come. The message from the analysis is clear: no action on climate change is not an option.
Promise and peril: How artificial intelligence is transforming health careΔρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
AI has enormous potential to improve the quality of health care, enable early diagnosis of diseases, and reduce costs. But if implemented incautiously, AI can exacerbate health disparities, endanger patient privacy, and perpetuate bias. STAT, with support from the Commonwealth Fund, explored these possibilities and pitfalls during the past year and a half, illuminating best practices while identifying concerns and regulatory gaps. This report includes many of the articles we published and summarizes our findings, as well as recommendations we heard from caregivers, health care executives, academic experts, patient advocates, and others.

The essay analyzes the argument that plea bargaining is an unethical practice that compromises justice. It acknowledges that plea bargaining aims to increase efficiency and reduce costs, but argues it allows guilty criminals to receive disproportionately light sentences. The essay cites the notorious case of Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo as an example, in which a plea bargain failed to adequately punish them for the rapes and murders of three teenage girls. In conclusion, plea bargaining does not serve the interests of justice or protect the innocent.
Mental Health: Navigating Political ConflictJulie Veloz
The document discusses creating an environment of psychological safety for employees during times of political conflict and unrest. It emphasizes the importance of communication, trust-building and ensuring all voices feel heard. Managers are encouraged to check in regularly with teams and celebrate courageous conversations. Recognizing that employees will have strong political beliefs and may feel demoralized, the focus should be on understanding different perspectives, finding common ground and taking pressure off productivity expectations. Resources are provided to help process external stress and promote mental health and well-being.
The crisis communication plan outlines how the Hopeful Paws organization will communicate internally and externally in the event of a crisis situation. The plan establishes a Crisis Communication Team that is responsible for coordinating the response. It identifies key public stakeholders that must be communicated with, such as donors, animal services, and local government. The plan also includes templates for press releases, social media responses, and consistent messaging to ensure a coordinated response that limits any reputational damage to the organization.

The world stands to lose close to 10% of total economic value by mid-century if climate change stays on the currently-anticipated trajectory, and the Paris Agreement and 2050 net-zero emissions targets are not met.
Many emerging markets have most to gain if the world is able to rein in temperature gains. For example, action today to get back to the Paris temperature rise scenario would mean economies in southeast Asia could prevent around a quarter of the gross domestic product (GDP) loss by mid-century that they may otherwise suffer. Our analysis in this report is unique in explicitly simulating for the many uncertainties around the impacts of climate change. It shows that those economies most vulnerable to the potential physical risks of climate change stand to benefit most from keeping temperature rises in check. This includes some of the world's most dynamic emerging economies, the engines of global growth in the years to come. The message from the analysis is clear: no action on climate change is not an option.
Promise and peril: How artificial intelligence is transforming health careΔρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
AI has enormous potential to improve the quality of health care, enable early diagnosis of diseases, and reduce costs. But if implemented incautiously, AI can exacerbate health disparities, endanger patient privacy, and perpetuate bias. STAT, with support from the Commonwealth Fund, explored these possibilities and pitfalls during the past year and a half, illuminating best practices while identifying concerns and regulatory gaps. This report includes many of the articles we published and summarizes our findings, as well as recommendations we heard from caregivers, health care executives, academic experts, patient advocates, and others.
In 2020, Amnesty International recorded the lowest number of executions in over a decade at 483. This was a 26% decrease from 2019. Four countries - Iran, Egypt, Iraq and Saudi Arabia - accounted for 88% of all recorded executions. The global number of known death sentences also decreased by 36% compared to 2019, partly due to disruptions from the Covid-19 pandemic. However, some countries like Egypt more than tripled their executions and the US resumed federal executions after a 17-year hiatus, putting 10 men to death over 5 months. Overall, the report found that the trend towards global abolition of the death penalty continued in 2020, but the pandemic exacerbated the cruelty of capital punishment in some retaining
Aviva’s first How We Live report was published in September 2020 when the world was firmly in the grip of a global pandemic. In the UK the vaccination programme is well underway and the mood of the nation is hopeful. This latest How We Live report looks at the long-term effects of the Coronavirus outbreak and considers its impact on our future behaviours.
We interviewed 4,000 adults across the UK to gather their views on a wide range of lifestyle decisions including property priorities, home-working, green living, career paths, vehicle choices and holiday plans. We also asked whether people had experienced any positive outcomes from the Covid pandemic. This report considers the practical and emotional skills which have been fostered as a result. Since the beginning of 2020, the UK has seen immense change. As we look forward to a sense of “normality” it remains to be seen which aspects of life will return to their previous states, and where we can expect changes to become permanent fixtures.
The life insurance industry provides protection against the financial consequences of the premature death of a family breadwinner, disability, or outliving one’s retirement assets. But how are life insurance products actually designed and priced?
Product committees comprising agents, underwriters, actuaries, and senior management sit and discuss what new products should be offered. The agents have vast experience visiting with policyholders to determine their needs. Underwriters set the guidelines on which policyholders will be accepted and/or rated. Smart actuaries (while most would find this redundant, some would call it an oxymoron) assess the potential risks in these products and set a potential price. Senior management listens to agents, underwriters, and actuaries and helps finalize the product design, the guidelines for accepting risks, and the price. The programmers will also have to be contacted to determine the cost of administering the products. Many iterations of these discussions may take place before a product is ready for sale. The entire process could take up to a year.
Some of these products are quite complex, taking into account long-term interest rates and probabilities of death/survival, disability, and lapse. With this lengthy and rigorous process, one would imagine that few mistakes are made. However, this is not the case. What follows are a few examples of major product mistakes which cost the life insurance industry a lot of time, money, and bad publicity.
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns forced many insurers to accelerate the transition to digital business models. In many countries, this transition has been remarkably successful, however, the crisis also highlighted the critical role played by national regulatory frameworks in both hindering and facilitating the shift to digitalisation in the insurance industry. COVID-19 lockdowns highlighted the critical role of national regulatory frameworks in both hindering and facilitating the shift to digitalisation in the insurance industry. Digitalisation is not a goal in itself, but provides insurers and their customers with benefits that are particularly useful in situations where in-person interactions cannot take place, played out in its fullest form during the COVID-19-induced lockdowns. Digitalisation drives an increase in speed and efficiency, irrespective of where the customer is located, and promises improved customer service and satisfaction.
The document discusses the Internet of Things (IoT) and its implications for insurance. It notes that as more "things" become connected to the internet and collect data, this creates opportunities for new types of insurance products based on device interactions and data-driven risk assessments. However, it also raises issues around data integrity, privacy, security and regulation that must be addressed. The insurance industry could gain over $1 trillion in new premiums if it properly manages risks related to data, cybersecurity, cloud computing and more.
The rapid rise of online political campaigning has made most political financing regulations obsolete, putting transparency and accountability at risk. Seven in 10 countries worldwide do not have any specific limits on online spending on election campaigns, with six out of 10 not having any restrictions on online political advertising at all.
Highlights
• On average, concerns over Innovation was ranked highest, followed by Implications of Covid-19 • Respondents indicated innovation is important, but are mostly in process
• Respondents were mostly confident in implementing their innovation plans.
• Nearly half of respondents indicated their focus was on the customer experience • Most respondents expect some negative impact from Covid-19, with decreased profit indicated most, followed by decreased sales effectiveness, which are likely related
• The most common change in response to the Covid-19 impact were workplace and staffing changes, followed by technology investments

What North America’s top finance executives are thinking - and doingΔρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
Each quarter (since 2Q10), CFO Signals has tracked the thinking and actions of CFOs representing many of North America’s largest and most influential companies. All respondents are CFOs from the US, Canada, and Mexico, and the vast majority are from companies with more than $1 billion in annual revenue. The 1Q 2021 survey was open from February 8-19, 2021. A total of 128 CFOs participated, 69% from public companies and 31% from privately held companies.
Democratic watchdog organization Freedom House has released its annual ranking of the world's most free and most suppressed nations.
The report is a key barometer for global democracy and this year's edition found that global freedom has declined for the 15th straight year. 2020 was a turbulent year with the pandemic, violent conflict and economic and physical insecurity leading to democracy's defenders sustaining heavy losses against authoritarian foes which has resulted in a shift in the internatioal baance in favor of tyranny.
A total of 195 countries and 15 territories were analyzed on their levels of access to political rights and civil liberties with the number experiencing a deterioration in their freedom scores exceeding the number that saw improvement by the widest margin since 2006. In 2020, nearly 75 percent of the world's population lived under a government that saw its democracy score decline in the past year.
Women, Business and the Law 2021 is the seventh in a series of annual studies measuring the laws and regulations that affect women’s economic opportunity in 190 economies. Amidst a global pandemic that threatens progress toward gender equality, the report identifies barriers to women’s economic participation and encourages reform of discriminatory laws. This year, the study also includes important findings on government responses to the COVID-19 crisis and pilot research related to childcare and women’s access to justice.
Strong competition undoubtedly contributes to a country’s productivity and economic growth. The primary objective of a competition policy is to enhance consumer welfare by promoting competition and controlling practices that could restrict it. More competitive markets stimulate innovation and generally lead to lower prices for consumers, increased product variety and quality, more entry and enhanced investment. Overall, greater competition is expected to deliver higher levels of welfare and economic growth.
Long-erm Care and Health Care Insurance in OECD and Other CountriesΔρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
This report carries out a stocktaking of what systems have in OECD and non-OECD countries for longterm care and health care, as well as the types of insurance products that are made available in these countries. It is part of a broader project that examines the complementarity of the social security network with the private insurance market, which examines how insurance could support the public sector longterm care and health care systems, as well as considering the financing of long-term care and health care.
This tenth edition of Global Insurance Market Trends provides an overview of market trends to better understand the overall performance and health of the insurance market. This monitoring report is compiled using data from the OECD Global Insurance Statistics (GIS) exercise. The OECD has collected and analysed data on insurance in OECD countries, such as the number of insurance companies and employees, insurance premiums and investments by insurance companies, dating back to the 1980s. Over time, the framework of this exercise has expanded and now includes key items of the balance sheet and income statement of direct insurers and reinsurers.
Does AI threaten and undermine human value in the workplace more than any other technology? There have been significant advances in AI, but will their impact really be different this time?
This literature review takes stock of what is known about the impact of artificial intelligence on the labour market, including the impact on employment and wages, how AI will transform jobs and skill needs, and the impact on the work environment. The purpose is to identify gaps in the evidence base and inform future research on AI and the labour market.
The OECD has estimated that 14% of jobs are at high risk of automation.
•Despite this, employment grew in nearly all OECD countries over the period 2012-2019.
•At the country level, a higher risk of automation was associated with higher employment growth over the period. This might be because automation promotes employment growth by increasing productivity, although other factors are also at play.
•At the occupational level, however, employment growth was much lower in occupations at high risk of automation (6%) than in occupations at low risk (18%).
•Low-educated workers were more concentrated in high-risk occupations in 2012 and have become even more concentrated in these occupations since then.
•The low growth in jobs in high risk occupations has not led to a drop in the employment rate of low-educated workers. This is largely because the number of workers with a low education has fallen in line with the demand for these workers.
•Going forward, however, the risk of automation is increasingly falling on low-educated workers and the COVID-19 crisis is likely to accelerate automation, as companies reduce reliance on human labour and contact between workers, or re-shore some production.
Prescription drug prices in U.S. more than 2.5 times higher than in other cou...Δρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
Prescription drugs cost an average of 2.56 times more in the United States than they do in 32 other countries, according to a new report from RAND Corporation.
That disparity is even greater for brand name drugs, with U.S. prices averaging 3.44 times those in comparison nations. The study also found that prices for unbranded generic drugs — which account for 84% of drugs sold in the United States by volume but only 12% of U.S. spending — are slightly lower in the United States than in most other countries.
‘A circular nightmare’: Short-staffed nursing homes spark Covid-19 outbreaks,...Δρ. Γιώργος K. Κασάπης
Nursing homes have suffered grievously in the coronavirus pandemic. Chronically understaffed, that’s getting worse, a new US Pirg Education Fund analysis says. The shortage of direct-care workers rose from 20% of U.S. nursing homes in May to 23% in December. Too few workers raises stress among staff, the authors argue, making them and the residents they care for more vulnerable to Covid-19 infections, reducing staff further in “a circular nightmare.”
This document analyzes the impacts of utility disconnection and eviction moratoria policies on COVID-19 infections and deaths across US counties. It finds that policies limiting evictions reduced COVID-19 infections by 3.8% and deaths by 11%, while moratoria on utility disconnections reduced infections by 4.4% and deaths by 7.4%. Had these policies been adopted nationwide, infections could have been reduced up to 14.2% and deaths up to 40.7% with eviction moratoria, and infections reduced up to 8.7% and deaths up to 14.8% with utility disconnection moratoria.

3. 3Introduction
Americans are struggling. We have all witnessed the steady
increase in suicide rates (48,000 in 2018), fatal drug overdoses
(67,000 in 2018), and the number of people with mental disorders
(47 million). The bleak numbers tell us that people are in pain.
Crisis Text Line knows why.
Crisis Text Line is a not-for-profit providing free crisis counseling via text, 24/7. Text CRISIS to 741741
to text with a trained Crisis Counselor. With over 129 million messages processed to date, we’re
growing quickly. And so is the need.
This report is designed to help you understand crisis in your state and in the United States as a whole.
Information is power. This data—collected from our launch on August 1, 2013 until December 31,
2019—busts myths. It’s the truth about the state of mental health and behavioral health in America.
“If it’s a crisis to you, it’s a crisis to us.”
Large. In the six years since Crisis Text Line launched the first national texting service for people in crisis,
we have processed 129 million messages about the underlying causes—depression, anxiety, relationship
issues—that can lead to tragic outcomes. This makes us one of the largest hotlines in America.
Best practice. Our vetted and trained Crisis Counselors work to move each texter from a hot
moment to a cool calm. During these text conversations, Crisis Counselors are supported by our
algorithms and work closely with Supervisors to deploy evidence-based best practices like active
listening, collaborative problem-solving, and risk assessment techniques.
Private. Texting is a private, silent medium—not surprisingly, 68% of texters share something with us that
they have never shared with another human being. And because they are sharing in a private, silent mode
and opening up for the first time, the issues they share are often very dark, personal, and urgent.
High risk. Sometimes conversations are high risk for loss of life. In 28% of conversations, a texter
mentions suicidal ideation. And 2-3 times each week, a texter mentions homicidal ideation—most
often a school shooting or partner murder. When a texter shares suicidal or homicidal thoughts, we
risk assess to determine if they have a plan, a method, and a timeframe to complete this threat to life.
Most of the time, we’re able to guide the texter through the creation of a plan to stay safe. However, in
just under 1% of conversations, we cannot de-escalate or the person has already started an attempt.
In these cases, we need to call emergency services to perform an active rescue. In just over six years,
we have made 26,300 calls to 911.
Data rich. Since day one, we knew it was important to listen to the needs of Americans and to
constantly improve our service based on their feedback. So, we collect, store, and analyze the data in
real-time. Because we handle a plethora of issues—suicide, depression, sexual violence, substance
abuse, eating disorders, anxiety, finances, and more—our data corpus has unique volume, velocity,
and variety. It tells us who is texting (53% under age 17), race (30% are people of color), and sexual
orientation (44% identify as LGBTQ), where they are texting from (we over-index in rural areas), the time
of day they need help (late night), etc. We leverage the data to support academic research, policy, and
public health.
4. 4Who We Are
OUR STORY
The idea for Crisis Text Line started when our founder Nancy Lublin was the CEO of DoSomething.org,
the largest organization for young people and volunteerism in America. DoSomething.org
communicates with over six million members by text. Some members started replying to messaging
with personal challenges. One particularly desperate message inspired the need for Crisis Text
Line: “He won’t stop raping me. Its my Dad. He told me not to tell anyone. RU there?”
Nancy quietly launched Crisis Text Line on August 1, 2013, in Chicago and El Paso—and within four
months we were taking conversations from all 295 area codes in the US. Today, we’ve trained over
25,000 volunteer Crisis Counselors. We’ve exchanged 129 million messages in the US, including
Washington DC. and Puerto Rico. And, in the past two years, we’ve made our service available to
people in other countries including Canada, the UK, and Ireland.
Millions of texters, an army of trained Crisis Counselors, and three countries later, we’ve taken a lead
in the mental health space and have established ourselves at the forefront of machine learning for
good. (We’re winners of the Google AI Impact Challenge).
HOW WE ARE FUNDED
We’re privately funded. This means we receive funding from foundations, individuals, and
corporations. It’s important to us that a high-quality service is accessible to anyone who needs it,
and that the data is all in one place. Money shouldn’t be a barrier to help.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TEXT
Crisis Text Line was designed to help people in pain with as little friction as possible. It’s not an app.
There is no long intake survey. There is no password or fee. We are available via SMS and Facebook
Messenger—right in your pocket. Here’s what happens:
1. PERSON TEXTS 741741 2. AUTO RESPONSE
“Hi, this is Crisis Text Line.
You’re not alone. By texting further
with us, you agree to our Terms:
goo.gl/EMCKCY. We can’t receive
msgs 160 characters.”
“Resources and coping skills while
we connect you: bit.ly/2BHZKBg.
(STOP to cancel convo). What’s
your crisis?”
3. CRISIS COUNSELOR
Exchange (average
40-60) messages to bring the
texter from a hot to a cool
moment, and create a
plan for continued health
and safety.

How It Works
THREE LEVELS OF CARE
When people in pain reach out to us, they deserve an empathetic human response. We leverage
technology and data to make our human service faster and better.
EVERY TEXTER IS TRIAGED AT THREE LEVELS
3. SUPERVISORS
ALGORITHM
Ranking the queue
We believe texters should be handled in order of severity, not chronology. When someone texts
in “I want to die,” they deserve fast attention. Our algorithm codes high-risk conversations orange
and makes them #1 in the queue.
Our machine learning triage model allows us to maintain low wait-times for high-risk texters, even
in massive spike times. On average, our model makes it possible for us to serve 94% of high-risk
texters in under five minutes. For example, during Election Night 2016, we experienced four times
our volume for 48 hours, yet our average wait-time for high-risk texters was still only 39 seconds.

1. ALGORITHM 2. CRISIS COUNSELORS
6. 6How it Works
CRISIS COUNSELORS
During their conversations with texters, Crisis Counselors aim to help texters to come up with a safety
plan. Sixty-eight percent of texters agreed on a plan and 99% of these texters say they intend to
follow through on that plan.
Crisis Counselors work remotely—anywhere with a computer and secure internet connection works.
Each volunteer Crisis Counselor must be over age 18, pass a background check, and complete 30
hours of training. Our training teaches skills in active listening and collaborative problem-solving.
This course has been designed based on the data, evidence-based best practices, and the advice
of a team of expert advisors. Because we aim for a high level of support, fewer than 30% of people
make it through our application, background check, and training.
SUPERVISORS
We maintain a clinical team whose members watch every conversation in real-time. These
Supervisors are always on our platform to support Crisis Counselors and create a strong experience
for each texter. It is these Supervisors who determine if an active rescue is necessary and make the
call to 911.
Self-Care That Works
What are the most effective self-care methods
and coping skills in bringing texters “from hot
to cool?” Here is what we see in the data:
• Talking to someone like a parent, friend,
counselor, therapist, or trusted adult. For some
people this might mean sending a text, picking
up the phone, or seeing someone in person.
Regardless, we know human connections are
critical to fighting crisis.
• Music. This can be listening to music or making
music of their own! The top artists mentioned
by texters include: Twenty One Pilots, Shawn
Mendes, and Demi Lovato.
• Writing. Texters who talk about writing as a coping
skill are 7% more likely than others to indicate
that their crisis feels less severe after talking with
a Crisis Counselor. The most common form of
writing mentioned by texters is a “letter.”
• Sleep. About 25% of conversations mention
sleep (peaking in January and February). This is
consistent across all demographics, especially
during late night convos.
7. 7
WORDS THAT HURT
Thanks to our texter triage algorithm, we learned that many words are more likely to lead to high-risk conversations
than “suicide.” In the world cloud below, these words and numbers are sized in accordance the likelihood that the
conversation will end in an active rescue. The emoji pill is 4.4 times more likely and crying face emoji is 1.6 times more
likely to end in an life-threatening situation.

MESSAGES
The total number of messages sent to a texter or from a Crisis Counselor in the US.
SUICIDAL DE-ESCALATION
This number represents the conversations in which the texter indicated that they had suicidal
thoughts, plan, method, and a timeframe to attempt suicide at some point in their conversation and
agreed to a safety plan with the help of a Crisis Counselor.
ACTIVE RESCUES
Ideally, we are able to form a plan to keep the texter safe without needing to dispatch emergency
services. In cases when the texter indicates that they have suicidal thoughts, plan, method, and a
timeframe to attempt suicide, we contact emergency services.
SATISFACTION RATING
The average rating our texters give us at the end of a conversation.
FIRST-TIME ACCESSING CARE
For 37% of texters, Crisis Text Line was the first time they’ve ever reached out for support.
This number represents the percentage of texters who say they have shared something in that
conversation that they have never shared with another human.

9. 9Data Philosophy
We believe that the information exchanged in our messages, the pace of those messages, the time of
day, and the word choices can help unlock the secrets to better mental health.
By implementing data science and machine learning from day one, we have created the largest
mental health data set in the world. Unlike other large-scale datasets on mental health and crisis, our
data has incredible volume, velocity, and variety. We’re one of the few datasets with an integrated
problem-solution, where each conversation can be treated as an experiment in reducing crisis.
We use this data internally to make our service smarter and faster to help Crisis Counselors focus on
doing what they do best: talking to texters in crisis. We share aggregated and anonymized data on
www.crisistrends.org, which is updated daily.
HOW WE COLLECT DATA
Our terms of service are simple: When texters choose to message us to use our service, we may
automatically receive and collect the phone number they texted us from and their mobile
service provider.
Other than that, the only Personally Identifiable Information that we collect is the stuff texters
voluntarily provide to us. Some of the types of Personally Identifiable Information that we may request
that texters disclose may include their name, age, address, and zip code, particularly if necessary
to respond to an imminent risk of death or serious bodily harm, or to make a mandatory report
concerning suspected child abuse or neglect.
Additionally, if texters choose to take a survey on Crisistextline.org or via a link sent following a
conversation, we may ask about the texter’s experience in that conversation. The texter can totally
choose to keep responses anonymous. It’s their call.

When we launched in the US, we looked at privacy standards around the world and adopted the Irish
guidelines—the strictest in the world at the time. We are GDPR compliant, reviewed by Infoway in
Canada, and remain user-first in our approach to privacy.
PUBLISHED RESEARCH
We have created a research fellowship for world-class machine learning and artificial intelligence
researchers. They are working with one of the country’s most important data sets to create a
consistent flow of insightful research and data science products that Crisis Text Line uses to improve
the crisis space as a whole. To date, nine papers have been published in leading academic journals.

10. 10Demographics
Stigma is one of the largest barriers to getting support. For 37%
of texters, texting Crisis Text Line is the first time they’ve ever
reached out for support. And 68% of texters say they have shared
something that they have never shared with another human.
We reach the people most in need of support and the least likely to have access to it. The
demographic data stems from the 20% of conversations for which texter’s complete the survey and
has been validated as representative of the larger population. Our texters are:
Young. 75% of our texters are under 25 years old. And a whopping 12% are under age 13.
Poor. 10% of the lowest income zip codes account for 19% of our volume.
Rural. 7.5% of USA counties are considered rural—and they account for 9.8% of our volume.
People of color. 19% of texters identify as Hispanic; 13% Black; 5.5% Native American.
LGBTQ+. 44% of our texters identify as LGBTQ+.

13. 13Partnerships
Ohio Mental Health Addiction Services
PROBLEM
Ohioans—particularly teens— needed crisis help, but didn’t want to talk over the phone. They
wanted a more discrete way to get help. The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction
Services decided to give Crisis Text Line a try with the keyword 4HOPE. They started by putting
tear-off posters in the back of bathroom stall doors in schools across the state to reach students
(when they’re a captive audience). Thanks to their partner dashboard, they could see how often
people were texting their keyword. They noticed that over the summer, fewer people were texting
in. To remind students that they could text 741741 year round, they played a PSA in movie theatres
across the state. Over the years, strategies for spreading the word have also included ads on
public transportation, school backpack tags, pharmacy prescription bags, and local restaurant
takeout boxes; radio and social media campaigns; and handing out promotional materials like pens,
keychains, and phone wallets at community events. Since the partnership began in May 2016, Crisis
Text Line has helped over 12,900 Ohioans in crisis.
IMPACT
WHAT’S NEXT
• Recognizing Crisis Text Line as an evidence-based practice in state registries
• Establishing protocol for Active Rescues with local first responders
• Diversifying data by reaching people of different races and ages
• New partnership with Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction will spread information
about Crisis Text Line to prison and parole staff, inmates, and individuals on parole.
“We have been able to reach many Ohioans, particularly young Ohioans, who are in crisis. The
team at Crisis Text Line worked closely with us to create our Data Dashboard which allows us
to identify trends and share data with our state and local partners. We are always brainstorming
new ways to promote our 4HOPE Keyword and let the many diverse communities across our
state know that there is a free, confidential way to reach out for help.” — Laura Payne, Researcher in
Bureau of Children, Youth and Families at Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services

Wisconsin Center for Suicide Awareness
PROBLEM
Wisconsin provided part-time crisis services via text through a service called Hopeline. From 3 p.m.
to 10 p.m. Monday-Friday, the staff at the Center for Suicide Awareness answered all texts in addition
to training all of the volunteers, marketing the line, and keeping everything else up and running.
Partnering with Crisis Text Line under the keyword HOPELINE allowed the Wisconsin-based staff to
focus on spreading awareness of the line and recruiting volunteers. The partnership expanded service
to 24/7 support. Since the partnership started in May 2015, Crisis Text Line has helped over 6,200
Wisconsinites.
IMPACT
WHAT’S NEXT
Local police departments and sheriffs are putting HOPELINE on their squad cars to promote unity
between the resource and first responders.
“We know that to prevent suicide we need to meet people where they
are most comfortable and safe. What better way then to utilize text-
based resources. The partnership with Crisis Text Line has allowed us
to prevent suicide at the ground level.“
— Barb Bigalke, Executive Director of Center for Suicide Awareness

15. 15How to Read the State Summary
TEXTERS
The number of unique individuals who send us a message.
CONVERSATIONS
Many individuals contact us more than once and we welcome that.
This number represents the number of total conversations.
SUICIDAL DE-ESCALATION
This number represents the conversations in which the texter indicated that
they had suicidal thoughts, plan, method, and a timeframe to attempt suicide at
some point in their conversation and agreed to a safety plan with the help of a
Crisis Counselor.
ACTIVE RESCUES
Ideally, we are able to form a plan to keep the texter safe without needing to
dispatch emergency services. In cases when the texter indicates that they have
suicidal thoughts, plan, method, and a timeframe to attempt suicide, we contact
emergency services.
FIRST-TIME ACCESSING CARE
For 37% of texters, Crisis Text Line was the first time they’ve ever reached
out for support. This number represents the percentage of texters who say they
have shared something in that conversation that they have never shared with
another human.
TEXTER FEEDBACK
A post-conversation survey asks texters if they want to share a message with
their Crisis Counselor. These messages often confirm the impact the Crisis
Counselor had on a texter’s life.
DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
The demographic data stems from the 20% of conversations for which texters
complete the survey. This data is representative of the larger population and has
been validated by an “imputation” project, led by external research partners at
Northwestern University.
TOP ISSUES
These are the issues tagged by a Crisis Counselor that summarize the main
topic(s) of a conversation.
All data is from our launch August 1, 2013 to December 31, 2019.

I had a good conversation with my crisis counselor, he didn’t only pay attention to one thing, but
everything I mentioned. He gave me alternatives, and a really great website too. I’ll surely be texting in if
I’m in crisis again, I’m so glad this text line is here.

I really want to thank you so much for listening and helping me. I feel a lot better and a little more grounded(?
I think that’s the right word). Even though this was a shortish conversation, it helped a LOT. I know I said this
already, but your support and care for people is a beautiful thing that I really admire.

I really just needed someone to listen. I was having a rough day and I was terrified of what I
saw. The calm way that you spoke to me and listened to what I had to say made me feel so
much better.

Thank you. I’ve been having a constant panic attack for a week, but I’m about to go to bed yawning for
the first time in a while. The tension is lifted a bit and I can just let tears go without sobbing. Thank you
for letting me talk it out.

Just being able to talk/vent to someone was great. But what was the best was giving me actual
strategies to help me calm down. At one point I actually laughed out loud and that was the best.
It truly made me feel better.

I had all but given up. The strength I needed to keep going, I found from simply texting a

This was something I really, really needed to hear. It gave me inspiration and steered me away from doing something

thinking about wanting to die. The pain was unbearable and I was alone. I needed that spark to

It means a lot to have someone who can help me figure out a simple plan that actually works for
me, that I came up with, and not just some canned thing. It might take some really hard choices
to make my life easier but my job is not more important than my life, not by a long shot.
