Malta’s first app to manage and prevent suicidal and self-harm behaviour has just been launched, allowing users to press a crisis button on their devices to get help in time.
The Kriżi application, designed in-house by Crisis Resolution Malta (CRM), includes a confidential chat line and a ‘red button’ if all else fails for immediate help.
App users will find an expert on the other side of the line, available 24/7, said crisis psychiatrist Mark Xuereb, who founded CRM. If necessary, a vehicle and any other form of help would be dispatched to save lives.
Their location would be known through the app. He explained about the new free service that is based on CRM’s anecdotes and experiences over the last decade, during which its on-call professionals handled over 66,000 crisis calls.
