Crisis Response Protocol

Implements the safety protocols you need when building AI coaching apps that touch mental health or addiction recovery. You get tiered response levels from gentle check-ins to emergency escalation, plus crisis detection logic that scans for primary indicators like suicidal ideation before your AI ever responds. The code shows exactly how to disable chat and surface 988 hotline info when risk hits critical, with built-in logging for human review. Pairs naturally with crisis detection skills since this handles the "what happens next" part. The key insight here is that it prevents your AI from being the sole responder by always providing paths to real counselors and emergency services, which is the only responsible approach.

Crisis Response Protocol

This skill helps you implement safe crisis intervention features for the AI coaching system, following mental health best practices.

When to Use

✅ USE this skill for:

  • Implementing crisis detection in recovery/mental health apps
  • Building safety planning features
  • Integrating hotline and emergency resource displays
  • Designing risk assessment interfaces
  • Creating escalation protocols for AI chat systems

❌ DO NOT use for:

  • Responding to an actual crisis yourself → Call 988 or emergency services
  • General mental health content → use sober-addict-protector or recovery-coach-patterns
  • Medical advice or diagnosis → Always defer to licensed professionals
  • Replacing human crisis counselors → AI should augment, never replace

Critical Safety Principle

AI should NEVER be the sole responder in acute crisis situations. Always provide pathways to human support and emergency services.
