Free, confidential, available 24/7
, Five core principles - correct answer ✔1. Human first - We believe people in
pain deserve human-to-human, non-judgemental empathy. It's brave to reach
out for help, and that bravery deserves human kindness in return. This also
means our volunteer community receives human support. Your main sources
of support are Coaches and Supervisors. Coaches are your support off the
Platform, including in training. They're your go-to person for questions about
your skills, your commitment, and your experience. Supervisors are your
professional, real-time support on the Platform, watching every conversation
and providing guidance.
2. Non-Discriminatory - We're here for all people in pain. We support
individuals regardless of issue, age, race, religion, sexual orientation, or
gender identity. We also have volunteers from different backgrounds and all
levels of experience.
3. Focus on Crisis Intervention - We provide crisis intervention that empowers
texters. This means you are only guiding the conversation; the texter is
actually coming up with the next steps.
Crisis intervention is not therapy, nor is it long term support. We're in-the-
moment support via a channel that many people feel comfortable using—text.
Our team of Supervisors are crisis intervention experts who are always there
with you in real-time while you talk with texters. Together, the #1 thing we can
do is show texters they have a safe space to share and be heard.
4. Have best In Class Technology - We believe texters and volunteers around
the world deserve fast, reliable technology that meets them where they are.
Our dedicated engineers and product team help build the Platform and protect
its infrastructure. This allows texters to use their mobile phones or apps to
reach us while you respond on our secure platform using your computer.
5. Were Secure - We adhere to the highest data security and privacy s
