Saving
Lives Via Text Message |
by ANYA
KAMENETZ - NPR | Pub: 11/30
|
Elisheva Adler was 20 years old, sitting in pajamas in her childhood bedroom in Long Island, the first time
she saved someone's life via text message. Adler had just started volunteering as a counselor for Crisis Text Line. The 4-year-old nonprofit provides free crisis intervention through a medium that is increasingly favored by young people: texts. Using the code
741741, counselors have exchanged more than 50 million messages with people who are facing issues from stress at school to self-harm. Out of those exchanges have come thousands of "active rescues" where first responders are called to a scene.
