Abstract – The rising incidence of suicide represents a profound public health crisis that demands immediate and effective intervention. Safe Space is an innovative suicide prevention helpline designed to offer timely, compassionate, and effective support to individuals in crisis. This project aims to establish a robust, accessible helpline service leveraging both human empathy and advanced technologies to provide comprehensive care and intervention.
Safe Space operates through a structured, multi-tiered approach to manage incoming calls from individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts. The process begins with call reception, where trained counselors conduct an initial assessment to evaluate the caller’s immediate risk level. Based on this assessment, callers are categorized into low, medium, or high-risk groups, guiding the subsequent intervention steps. For low-risk callers, Safe Space provides emotional support, coping strategies, and referrals to local mental health resources. Medium-risk callers receive personalized safety plans and involvement from trusted individuals in their support network. High-risk callers are provided with immediate crisis intervention, including activating emergency services if necessary.
