If you are struggling

Last updated 11 November 2026

Our "Ask" chats are AI tools about one creator's subject. They are not counsellors and cannot help in a crisis.

What the chat does

If a message suggests someone may harm themselves or is in crisis, the chat stops answering the question and shows the contacts below. It does not try to counsel anyone.

If you are in danger now

Call your local emergency number: 911 in the US and Canada, 999 in the UK, 112 or 999 in Ireland, 000 in Australia, 111 in New Zealand.
