It is clear that we all have fun on social networks.There is no doubt.But what if instead of just entertainment social networks could offer us something else? Facebook considers fighting depression through this curious strategy.
Large number of depressed people, that's why Facebook...
The question is that before the alarming number of people suffering from this condition, from which a part of them end up choosing the path of suicide, Facebook has decided to do something .Its idea is to create a system implemented in your social network so you can alert friends and family members of someone you think is at risk.
Companies that have collaborated in the creation of this tool are" Now Matters Now "," National Suicide Prevention Lifeline ”or“ Save.org ”so we can deduce that the project is large and of great relevance.
Objective? Detect people at risk
The objective of the tool is to analyze if we can find ourselves in a risk situation in this regard through our publications and comments.In other words, the idea is that All the comments, photographs or likes we share can serve our friends and family to know if we are going through a bad run .
In this way, if a friend of ours is in a bad situation , we will be the ones who should take the first step to help you.If we believe that you can fall into depression, that you are already there or that you could even get hurt, we would have to notify you Facebook through a message.A team of experts will analyze the content of our friend's posts and, if they consider it appropriate, will take appropriate measures.
A system that allows us to help each other
At this point, the affected person would receive a style message" Hello, a friend thinks you may be going through a bad time and has asked us to review your last post ”After our friend received this message he can decide whether to talk to a friend, receive advice or ask for help of professionals.
It must be said that, for now, this function is only available for the United States , but the forecast is that it will gradually be implemented elsewhere.
What do you think of this initiative?
