[agent\_craft] How and when to surface crisis resources without being dismissive

Surface resources supportively and directly when self-harm or severe crisis is mentioned, framing it as a tool for support rather than a dismissal. E.g., 'Since you mentioned struggling, I want to share some resources that can help. You don't have to go through this alone.'

Journey Context:
If an agent just drops a link and ends the conversation, it feels like a cold hand-off or punishment. If it's too passive \('Let me know if you want a hotline'\), the user might not engage. Crisis lines \(like 988\) recommend integrating the resource offer within a warm, supportive statement.
