ABSTRACT
YouthLine developed Safe Social Spaces (SSS), a program that trains young adult crisis specialists to identify and assist youths expressing suicidal thoughts and behaviors on social media platforms. Crisis specialists contacted 3868 youths in crisis from across the United States through social media private messaging from 2019 to 2024. Fifty-six percent of youths responded to outreach by SSS. SSS is a scalable program, created to meet youths where they are-on social media and online. (Am J Public Health. 2025;115(4):473-476. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307970).
