What Is the Semicolon Number?
Your Semicolon Number isn’t a score. It doesn’t judge you, rank you, or tell you how well or poorly you’re doing. It’s a personal compass — generated from a short, private screening — that guides you toward the resources and assessments most relevant to you.
You shouldn’t have to sort through everything to find what helps.
Mental health content can be overwhelming. Articles, tools, assessments — all of it piled on top of an already difficult moment. The Semicolon Number changes that. The moment you complete a brief triage screening, your Number goes to work quietly behind the scenes — shaping your Semicolon Journey so that what you see is what actually matters for your situation.
What is the Semicolon Journey?
It’s a structured, self-directed path built entirely around your Number. It begins with the triage screening and leads you through a set of deeper assessments tailored specifically to what your Number revealed. You move through them at your own pace, in your own time. There’s no grade. No ranking. No comparison to anyone else.
What you do get is something genuinely useful: a clear summary of what you’ve learned about yourself — your patterns, your areas of concern — packaged in a private PDF report you can share with any therapist, counselor, or mental health professional you trust.
It’s yours. Fully.
Your Number is never shared, sold, or visible to anyone but you. This is your Journey, taken entirely on your terms.
Starting takes less than ten minutes. You don’t need to have answers — just a willingness to begin.
What Is the Semicolon Number? — A Clinical Overview
The Semicolon Number is not a global wellbeing metric. It’s a personalized routing signal — generated from a validated multi-domain screener — that maps an individual’s responses to the specific long-form assessments and psychoeducational resources most relevant to their clinical profile.
Built on validated instruments.
The Semicolon Journey begins with a triage screener covering ten domains: depression (PHQ-4), generalized anxiety (GAD-4), trauma (PCL-4), insomnia (ISI-2), self-harm (NSSI-2), disordered eating (SCOFF-2), alcohol use (AUDIT-C), substance use (DAST-5), ADHD (ASRS-6), and mood dysregulation (RMS-6). Subscores are evaluated against established clinical thresholds to determine which full-length instruments — PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, and others — are recommended for that individual.
What the Number actually does.
It reduces friction. Rather than self-selecting from an undifferentiated content library, community members engage only with assessments and resources that are clinically relevant to their profile. It is a navigation tool, not a diagnostic output.
What your clients arrive with.
Upon completing their recommended assessments, users receive a structured PDF summary — designed to function as a meaningful intake supplement. It includes domain-level findings, raw scores, and normalized results. It isn’t a clinical report, but it gives practitioners organized baseline data that might otherwise require multiple sessions to surface.
A new model for community-based mental health navigation.
Project Semicolon has always lived at the intersection of lived experience and clinical awareness. The Semicolon Journey formalizes that — a structured, low-barrier pathway that meets people where they are and brings them forward with greater self-knowledge and documentation they can carry into care.
Privacy and data integrity are foundational to the platform. User data is handled with the rigor that clinical contexts demand.
