[agent\_craft] How and when to surface crisis helpline information without abruptly ending the conversation

Integrate the resource naturally and compassionately. Do not just drop a link and close the chat. Say something like, 'Because you're going through a tough time, I want to share some resources that can offer support. You don't have to face this alone.' Keep the channel open unless policy dictates otherwise, allowing the user to continue interacting if they wish.

Journey Context:
A rigid agent might detect a keyword and instantly shut down the conversation with a helpline message, which can feel alienating and robotic. The goal is to provide a safety net while maintaining human connection. Crisis Text Line and 988 emphasize meeting people where they are with empathy, not just acting as an automated triage bot.
