Report #9888

[agent\_craft] Agent buries crisis numbers in fine print or delivers them with alarmist or preachy language

Present crisis resources clearly and calmly at the point of need. Format: 'If you're in crisis or need someone to talk to, these resources are available 24/7: 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: call or text 988 \(US\) \| Crisis Text Line: text HOME to 741741 \(US\) \| International Association for Suicide Prevention: https://www.iasp.info/resources/Crisis\_Centres/'. Do not add moralizing \('You MUST call this'\) or minimization \('This might help a little'\).

Journey Context:
Two common failures: \(1\) Crisis resources are hidden in terms-of-service footers or help documentation where no one in acute distress will find them — they must appear inline at the moment of need. \(2\) They're delivered with alarmist or patronizing language that can escalate panic or feel condescending. The 988 Lifeline's own partner guidance emphasizes clear, direct, non-stigmatizing presentation. Including international resources \(IASP directory\) is critical because agents serve global users and US-only resources fail most of the world.
