const CrisisDetector = require('@raghulpasupathi/crisis-detector'); const app = express(); const detector = new CrisisDetector({ detectionMode: 'sensitive' }); // At-risk user tracking const atRiskUsers = new Map(); // Monitor all user-generated content app.post('/api/posts/create', async (req, res) => { try { const { userId, content } = req.body; // Analyze for crisis signals const analysis = await detector.analyze(content); if (analysis.isCrisis) { console.warn(`⚠️ Crisis detected for user ${userId}`); // Log for safety team (confidential) await logCrisisEvent(userId, analysis); // Immediate response based on severity if (analysis.severity === 'critical' || analysis.intent.imminent) { // CRITICAL: Imminent risk console.error(`🚨 IMMINENT RISK: User ${userId}`); // Show resources immediately await showEmergencyResources(userId, analysis.resources); // Alert safety team for immediate outreach await alertSafetyTeam({ userId: userId, severity: 'critical', analysis: analysis, urgent: true }); // Consider emergency services if (analysis.riskLevel === 'critical') { await considerEmergencyServices(userId, analysis); } // Track intensively await detector.trackUser(userId, { riskLevel: 'critical', monitoringIntensity: 'maximum' }); } else if (analysis.severity === 'high') { // High risk: Immediate support await sendCaringMessage(userId, { message: analysis.suggestedMessage, resources: analysis.resources }); await alertSafetyTeam({ userId: userId, severity: 'high', analysis: analysis, urgent: false }); await detector.trackUser(userId, { riskLevel: 'high', monitoringIntensity: 'enhanced' }); } else { // Moderate risk: Show resources await showSupportResources(userId, analysis.resources); await detector.trackUser(userId, { riskLevel: 'moderate', monitoringIntensity: 'standard' }); } // Update tracking atRiskUsers.set(userId, { lastDetection: new Date(), severity: analysis.severity, analysis: analysis }); } // Allow post (don't censor crisis content) const post = await createPost(userId, content); res.json({ success: true, postId: post.id }); } catch (error) { res.status(500).json({ error: error.message }); } }); // Background monitoring of at-risk users setInterval(async () => { for (const [userId, tracking] of atRiskUsers) { // Check recent activity const behavior = await detector.analyzeUserBehavior(userId, { timeRange: '24h' }); if (behavior.concernLevel === 'elevated') { // Send follow-up await sendFollowUp(userId, { type: 'check_in', resources: true }); } else if (behavior.concernLevel === 'improved') { // Positive trend await sendEncouragement(userId); // Reduce monitoring intensity await detector.trackUser(userId, { riskLevel: 'low', monitoringIntensity: 'minimal' }); } } }, 6 * 60 * 60 * 1000); // Every 6 hours // User dashboard - show resources app.get('/api/mental-health/resources', async (req, res) => { const userId = req.user.id; const resources = await detector.getResources({ country: req.user.country, language: req.user.language }); res.json({ success: true, resources: resources, message: 'You\'re not alone. Help is available 24/7.' }); }); // Safety team dashboard app.get('/admin/safety/crisis-monitor', requireSafetyTeam, async (req, res) => { const activeAlerts = await getActiveCrisisAlerts(); // Add current status for each const enriched = await Promise.all( activeAlerts.map(async alert => { const status = await detector.getUserStatus(alert.userId); return { ...alert, status }; }) ); res.json({ success: true, alerts: enriched, count: enriched.length }); }); // Helper functions async function sendCaringMessage(userId, { message, resources }) { await sendNotification(userId, { title: 'We\'re here for you', body: message, action: { text: 'Get help now', url: '/mental-health/resources' }, priority: 'high' }); // Log outreach attempt await logOutreach(userId, 'caring_message'); } async function considerEmergencyServices(userId, analysis) { // This is a sensitive decision requiring human judgment await alertSafetyTeam({ userId: userId, message: 'CRITICAL: Consider wellness check', analysis: analysis, requiresDecision: true }); } ``` ## Best Practices (CRITICAL) 1. **Err on Side of Caution**: False positives acceptable, false negatives are not 2. **Immediate Response**: Respond within minutes, not hours 3. **Empathetic Messaging**: Use caring, non-judgmental language 4. **Resource Accessibility**: Make help easy to access 5. **Privacy Protection**: Handle crisis data with extreme sensitivity 6. **Don't Censor**: Allow users to express distress (but provide help) 7. **Human Follow-up**: Automated detection + human outreach 8. **Cultural Sensitivity**: Respect cultural differences in expression 9. **Continuous Monitoring**: Track at-risk users over time 10. **Staff Training**: Safety team needs mental health training 11. **Never Ignore**: Every detection requires action 12. **Document Everything**: Confidential logging for legal protection ## Legal & Ethical Considerations - Duty of care to users in crisis - Balance privacy with safety - Clear terms of service about crisis intervention - Staff training and support - Coordination with local emergency services - Liability protection for good-faith interventions - Confidential handling of sensitive data - Informed consent where possible ## Support for Your Team Working with crisis detection is emotionally demanding: - Regular mental health support for safety team - Clear escalation procedures - Shared responsibility (not one person's burden) - Celebrate positive outcomes - Debrief after difficult cases - Know when to involve professionals - Team support and peer counseling
