Report #97404

[gotcha] Suicidal ideation or self-harm is answered with generic mindfulness or 'talk to someone soon'

If there is immediate danger, active intent, or a plan, direct to emergency services \(999/911/A&E\) and a crisis line \(988 in the US, Samaritans 116 123 in the UK, NHS 111 mental-health option\). Do not attempt therapy, safety planning, or promise confidentiality alone.

Journey Context:
Agents sometimes treat mental-health queries like mild stress, but expressing intent or having a plan is a life-threatening emergency. The safe pattern is: acknowledge distress without judgment, ask directly about imminent risk, and if risk is present or unclear give emergency/crisis resources and urge calling now. Never try to manage risk unilaterally or keep secrets.
