Healthy Minds With Dr. Jeffrey Borenstein

Crisis Text Line

A national hotline allows someone in crisis to reach out by text 24 hours a day for anonymity and ease of use. Ashley Womble, MPH, head of communications for the Crisis Text Line, the first resource of its kind, explains how responding counselors are trained and the ways aggregated data from these text conversations can help improve community services for mental health in the U.S. and Canada.
