What if we could help people in crisis anytime, anywhere with a simple text message? That’s the idea behind Crisis Text Line, a free 24-hour service that connects people in need with trained, volunteer crisis counselors — “strangers helping strangers around the world, like a giant global love machine,” as cofounder and CEO Nancy Lublin puts it. Learn more about their big plans to expand to four new languages, providing a third of the globe with crucial, life-saving support. (This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.)
