Call centers can reduce burnout and help more people in need when they have greater visibility into the quality of every call.

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and other crisis line providers face strict QA requirements alongside an emotionally and mentally draining workload, with no margin for error. Many crisis care providers are only able to sample 3-5% of calls to verify fidelity to best practices, and continuous training is too expensive and time-consuming for a high-turnover workforce.

These pain points often result in inconsistent training and difficulty demonstrating fidelity to evidence-based practices — with both directly affecting the quality of a crisis call.

All crisis line providers need intuitive tools to illuminate the performance of their teams, evaluate a much greater portion of their total calls, and provide expert training at scale.

Quality Improvement

Lyssn’s QI platform provides over 75 metrics, ranging from general evaluations to measuring the outcomes of evidence-based practices that include core components of a suicide risk assessment. Evaluations are consistent, personalized to the call taker, and provide a 360-degree perspective of all areas that are performing at high levels or need improvement.

Lyssn’s QI solution also includes an AI-powered documentation tool, which helps call takers focus their attention on the person in distress rather than taking notes.

Learn & Practice

Lyssn allows crisis call centers to provide evidence-based, interactive training at scale — offering comprehensive exercises, unlimited practice with simulated callers, and instant feedback, while providing leaders with total visibility into workforce skill use during training.

In the area of crisis care, Lyssn provides a suicide prevention training module created in partnership with Dr. David Jobes and Dr. Samantha Chalker. It allows staff to learn and practice concepts through micro-learning and on-demand training.
