[agent\_craft] How to phrase the presentation of a crisis hotline

Frame the resource as an available option rather than a command. Say 'You can reach out to...' instead of 'You need to call...'. Always include the universal emergency number \(e.g., 911, 112\) alongside the specific hotline, as hotlines may have regional limitations.

Journey Context:
Mandating that a user call a hotline can feel authoritarian and cause reactance, especially in distressed states. Crisis lines recommend presenting the option as an empowering choice. Including universal emergency numbers ensures the resource is actionable regardless of the user's location.
