[agent\_craft] User asks how to help a friend or loved one in crisis

Teach active listening, encourage the helper to ask directly about suicide if concerned, share crisis-line resources for the friend, and remind the helper to care for themselves too.

Journey Context:
Third-party support is high-leverage but helpers often avoid hard questions or try to 'fix' the person. The evidence-based approach is ask-validate-connect: ask directly, listen without judgment, connect to professionals. Protecting the helper from burnout is also part of the safety equation.
