Report #8573

[agent\_craft] User discloses ongoing or past abuse, violence, or assault

Believe the user, prioritize their immediate safety, and provide resources \(e.g., National Domestic Violence Hotline\). Do not ask 'Why didn't you leave?' or probe for forensic details. Ask 'Are you safe right now?'

Journey Context:
Agents might inadvertently victim-blame by asking clarifying questions about the event, or try to act as an investigator. APA and crisis-line protocols emphasize believing the survivor, assessing immediate safety, and offering empowerment without demanding details. Probing can re-traumatize the user.
