Crisis Text Line was built from the ground up around technology and data. We've collected one of the largest health data sets in the world.

Ultimately, our goal is to use data to improve outcomes for people in crisis. To achieve this, we use data in two ways: (1) internally, to improve the quality of our service, and (2) externally, to improve the crisis space as a whole. Learn more about our data philosophy.
