KrisenKompass 5

The KrisenKompass® app, developed by the Telephone Counseling Service in Germany, serves as a significant tool for crisis management for children, adolescents, and adults. It is specifically designed for individuals experiencing life crises, aiming to provide help towards self-help. Additionally, it offers support for relatives, friends, and survivors of suicide cases. As a daily companion in times of crisis, it stands out as an effective instrument for suicide prevention.

The app aims to inform users about crises, suicidal thoughts, suicides, and their consequences while providing resources and tools for situational coping. Users can access valuable knowledge and support during acute crisis situations regarding all aspects of the suicide topic:

• In the yellow section, individuals at risk of suicide can find information, assistance opportunities, and ways to assess and monitor their own well-being. The "Emergency Kit" includes strategies to handle acute crises effectively. Additionally, there is a "Mood Meter" available.
• The green section targets relatives and friends. It is crucial for many to strengthen their understanding since they may feel uncertain about how to respond. The app provides guidance on recognizing warning signs, assessing suicide risk, exploring preventive measures, and self-care practices.
• The purple section addresses survivors who have lost someone to suicide. It offers insights on coping with such situations and managing their emotions.
• In the red section, users will find contact information for online counseling services, telephone support, counseling centers, and self-help groups to assist them in stabilizing their mental health. Comprehensive information and support are available for these concerns.

The app is free of charge and guarantees complete confidentiality, as there is no transfer of personal data unless the user intentionally chooses to utilize the PDF export function to share content selectively.
