Crisis Text
Line releases trends and data
Crisis
Text Line is a service that
troubled teens can use to find help with suicidal thoughts,
depression, anxiety, and other issues via text messaging.
The long-term
goal is to anonymize and
encode these text messages so that researchers and
policy-makers could better understand something typically
kept private to the individuals.
Following through, the organization
recently released a look into their data and a sample of
encoded messages. (There’s a link to download the data
at the bottom of the page.)
The visual part of the release shows
the day and time text messages come in, the issue and the
co-occurring issues revealed during each texting session.
Groups , researchers and educational institutions can
develop a partnership with the organization and receive
considerably more information by state on the public
information provided at www.CrisisTrends.org.

What is the Crisis
Text Line?
When a young woman texted DoSomething.org
with a heartbreaking cry for help, the organization
responded by opening a nationwide Crisis Text Line for
people in pain. Millions of text messages later, the
organization is using the privacy and power of text
messaging to help people handle addiction, suicidal
thoughts, sexual abuse and more. But there's an even bigger
win: The anonymous data collected by text is teaching us
when crises are most likely to happen — and helping
schools and law enforcement to prepare for them by using
technology and data to help save lives.
Statistics show that."Only 5% of teens
are willing to call phone crisis lines, but
they're
more willing to text. Texting "SOS" to 741741 is a
way to text anonymously with a crisis counselor 24/7
What are in the
data?
Most data on mental health and crisis are survey data
collected after the fact. It’s people remembering. Data
harvested from Crisis Text Line calls are people in their
greatest moment of crisis.
Information from millions of texts
since August 13, 2013 are tabulated to provide
up-to-the-minute information on what people, 72% which are
teens in crisis, are in crisis about. The Crisis Text Line
organization has determined that there are 14 major topics
that come up. Say someone texts that they were having
suicidal thoughts. Over the course for the messaging time,
the computer records which ones, if any of the remaining
issue, came up in the conversation. This information can
provide clinicians and family members with co-occurring
issues that are happening in the texter's life which may
have an impact on the primary concern.
I have charted information for these
topics including the day of the week and the hour of the day
by month of these texts and report previous month's data
within a couple of days of the end of that month. Data for
Oregon can be found here
These data aim to empower journalists,
researchers, school administrators, parents and all citizens
to understand the crises American's face so we can work
together to prevent future crises from happening to reach
our goal of Zero Attempts. Data is available for each state
at CrisisTrends.org
