If you’re thinking of hurting yourself, or have days when you feel like you just can’t go on,
help is available. We have resources to help you feel better:
If you know anyone who needs help please let’s us know before it’s too late!
Send it to your best friends and your grandma. It’ll work on their computers and phones.
Suicide is a serious public health problem that takes an enormous toll on families, friends, classmates, co-workers, and communities, as well as on our military personnel and veterans.
People who kill themselves exhibit one or more warning signs, either through what they say or what they do. The more warnings, the greater the risk.
One way you can contribute to reducing suicide is by participating as a volunteer in our project.
ARK Humanity : Respect, Empathy, and Compassion
We built this search mechanism that searches for self harm related keywords. The intention of our search is to help the people in crisis (suicide prevention). We also extend this help to the people around them while gathering volunteers who are interested in helping. We are promoting the core principles of humanity including respect, empathy and compassion.
The search mechanism will be deployed into Twitter to identify tweets if there is any individuals who need crisis intervention. We also provide a service where the public can notify us of any individuals who is in need of such service.
We are also actively looking for volunteers who are willing to come out and play this role of replying and comforting those who are in need. This is because we believe that the empathetic quality in human beings can never be replaced by any automated replies.
