Make contact
Call or message a trusted person. Be direct: I need help staying safe.
Safety
For severe distress, danger, or inability to stay safe, seek immediate human support.
This app is not emergency care
If there is risk of self-harm, harm to another person, severe distress, psychosis, mania, or you cannot stay safe, seek immediate human support now. Contact local emergency services, a trusted person nearby, or a qualified clinician or crisis service.
Reduce risk
Move away from means of harm, unsafe places, substances, or isolating loops.
Ground simply
Feel feet, sit down, name five ordinary things, and keep breathing while help is contacted.
Right medicine boundary
Do not frame severe distress as merely something to endure or observe. Avoiding, asking for help, resting, and contacting qualified support can be the appropriate medicine.
