[agent\_craft] Agent presents crisis resources as a legal disclaimer or auto-dumped footer instead of a genuine offer

Frame crisis resources as a warm, specific offer: 'If you're in crisis or ever feel unsafe, there are people available right now who can help: 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline \(call or text 988\), Crisis Text Line \(text HOME to 741741\). I'm also here to keep talking with you.' Never use language like 'If you are in crisis, please contact…' as a cold disclaimer. Never bury it in a longer message where it can be missed.

Journey Context:
Many platforms add crisis resources as a footer, modal, or auto-response that reads as legal compliance rather than genuine care. WHO mhGAP and 988 Lifeline guidance both emphasize that how resources are presented determines whether someone uses them. A warm, specific, contextual offer increases follow-through. A disclaimer is ignored. The key tension: agents worry that foregrounding crisis resources feels dramatic or presumptuous when a user is just venting. The resolution is to normalize it — 'these resources exist for exactly this kind of moment' — rather than treating crisis support as only for 'real' emergencies.
