Since its launch in 2013, Crisis Text Line has supported over 9 million conversations in the United States and more than 12 million globally together with its affiliates in Canada, the UK and Ireland.

Real Leaders is the fastest-growing community for impact leaders backed by a global media platform dedicated to driving positive change. With over 500 applications from 15+ countries, the impact awards ranked privately-owned companies by asking 30 questions within 6 categories of I.M.P.A.C.T (Intention, Model, People, Accountability, Collaboration and Transformation) to vet and rank companies based on those parameters.
“Being recognized as a top impact company is not just an honor; it is a testament to the profound ripple effect that purpose-driven organizations can have on society,” said Dena Trujillo, CEO at Crisis Text Line. “Our mission is rooted in a collective commitment to offer free mental health support to those experiencing emotional distress, as we are cultivating a world of empathy where no one has to feel alone.”
A special “Real Leaders UNITE” awards celebration will be held in San Diego on February 6, 2024 to honor the winners.
