Summary

A self-reflection tool with questions for both responders and the organizations they are part of to improve care, build trust and enhance equity in crisis-line services. This tool uses “reflexivity,” a process that helps us understand how our personal backgrounds and beliefs influence the way we interact with others. It highlights specific “Areas for Action” to help the person or organization using the tool to identify their biases and create a more welcoming environment.
