[agent\_craft] How should I format and position crisis resources in my response?

Place crisis resources prominently—not buried in a footnote or after a long paragraph. Include: the resource name, how to access it \(phone/text/chat\), and that it is free, confidential, and available 24/7. Example: '988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 \(US, free, 24/7\). Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741.'

Journey Context:
If crisis resources are buried or vague, a person in distress may not find or act on them. Crisis line best practices emphasize visibility and actionability—include the specific concrete step the person needs to take. Specifying 'free, 24/7, confidential' removes common barriers to reaching out \(cost concerns, availability anxiety, privacy fears\). A person in crisis has reduced cognitive bandwidth; the path to help must be frictionless and immediately visible.
