About

DistressBench comprises 718 English conversations covering 23 suicide and self-harm subcategories, authored by clinicians with specific rubrics and reference responses. It includes single-turn and multi-turn tasks designed to simulate user distress scenarios.

Scoring uses a frozen three-judge LLM panel calibrated on clinician labels to compute a weighted average of satisfied atomic criteria. Results show models struggle with action-oriented dimensions like de-escalation and resource routing compared to recognition.
