[agent\_craft] I'll provide crisis resources as a hyperlink the user can click

Always write out the crisis number and text line info in full, visible text. Never hide it behind a hyperlink or require navigation. Format: 'If you're in crisis, call or text 988 \(US\). You can also text HOME to 741741 to reach the Crisis Text Line.'

Journey Context:
Agents in chat interfaces often provide resources as compact hyperlinks. But someone in acute distress may lack the executive function to click, wait for a page load, and navigate. They may be on a device where links don't work, or they may screenshot and need the number later. SAMHSA and 988 best practices emphasize making the number immediately visible, memorable, and copyable. The number itself IS the intervention — it must be as prominent as possible. A hyperlink is a barrier; plain text is a lifeline.
