As reported by the site itself
How it is built, by role
The same roles apply across the whole collection. Nothing in this block is specific to this site; what the site says about itself is quoted word for word below it.
- 1
Edge network
Visitors reach a site through an edge layer: a content delivery network with a web application firewall in front of it.
- 2
Application host
The edge talks to an application host that serves the site and renders its pages.
- 3
Data
What the pages show comes from a relational database or, for a site pre-rendered at build time, from data files built into its release.
- 4
Scheduled measurement
The collection measures its sites on a schedule: content dates and site health nightly, page counts read from each site’s sitemap weekly. Every reading is kept with its date. A site too large to re-walk is not re-measured, and shows no trend.
- 5
Public status feed
A monitoring panel sends a signed report on uptime, deploys and backups once a day, and the Operations page publishes it. A figure on this page that comes from that report says so.
In the site's own words
Each passage is copied unaltered from a page the site publishes, with the address it was taken from and the date we took it. We add nothing between them.
“Every crisis contact is verified against the provider's own page and dated, so you can see when a human last checked it. Everything after that — safety plans, self-checks, worksheets, guides for the people around you — is built for the long middle, where most of the work of getting better actually happens.”
“Nothing you write here leaves your device. Safety plans, mood logs and worksheets are stored in your browser. There is no account, no tracking of what you type, and nothing for anyone to leak.”
“This site is independently run and carries no advertising. It is not a substitute for a doctor, a therapist or a crisis service, and it never asks you to sign in.”
