1/Behavioral Health Link develops & markets #CrisisLines services to #988Lifeline providers. One of their offerings: "Voice-Currently in R&D, voice analysis technology to provide real time feedback on a caller’s emotional state to improve care delivery."web.archive.org/web/2022120220…
2/I've started mentioning Dr. John Draper's connection there, recently hired as their President of R & D. You may recall Draper was the long-time leader of Vibrant Emotional Health's administration of the Nat'l Suicide Prevention Lifeline,now #988Lifeline. linkedin.com/in/john-draper…
3/Between end of March & now, Behavioral Health Link took down its page of software solutions. Maybe it will go back up but I'd like to know why it's gone. Seems they've sanitized the site of their " #AI " type services. No doubt still in development. web.archive.org/web/2023041614…
What's often left out of the conversation about #CrisisLines and #DataEthics, is the #volunteers. The focus is naturally on persons experiencing crisis. Rightly so, but volunteers make the conversations happen & can be exploited also.I asked #CrisisTextLine whether they took..
..the position that volunteers have provided consent for research on the conversations. They wouldn't answer the question or even confirm receiving it. They know what they're doing and do it anyway. #BusinessModel

Update April 2023:
1/4 I will pay $500 USD to the first person, by Aug 5,2022, to provide me with a peer-reviewed journal-published academic research paper that claims Terms of Service agreement as adequate informed consent for research on crisis conversations in USA. My “Terms and Conditions”: ...
2/4 It can’t be this 2019 JMIR paper (the only one I could find, making the claim for #CrisisTextLine), or any paper that cites to it. Must be research on the crisis conversations themselves—phone, text, transcripts, words. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
3/4 Hint: It could be research on conversations to any National Suicide Prevention Hotline (Lifeline/988/Vibrant Emotional Health), US Dept. of Veterans Affairs Crisis Line, Crisis Text Line, Trevor Project—any crisis line. Good luck!
1/12 I’m calling on #CrisisTextLine to stop allowing anonymous donations. It was shared with me that 2020 financials were recently posted. In 2020, there were massive donations—securities donations totaling $30.4M plus several cash at $1M. All appear anonymous.
2/12 Due to the orgs ethical failures related to data, the public needs to know who is behind the money, especially if the $ has data affiliations. It’s time to end the anonymous donor policy.

3/12 RE: @ultush thread on Loris. ai, Inc. Keep in mind,Crisis Text Line hasn't divested from Loris .ai. Only stopped sending new data after being exposed. CTL already gave Lorisai 100s millions of sensitive msgs, unethically sourced w/o informed consent.
