Platform is not for emergencies
The platform is not designed for use in emergencies such as suicidal thoughts, self-harm, harm to others, or any medical emergency, and therapists cannot provide assistance in these cases.
Why it matters: Users in crisis or experiencing medical emergencies cannot rely on the platform for immediate help, and attempting to use it in these situations is at the user's own risk.
IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT SUICIDE OR IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING HARMING YOURSELF OR OTHERS OR IF YOU FEEL THAT ANY OTHER PERSON MAY BE IN ANY DANGER OR IF YOU HAVE ANY MEDICAL EMERGENCY, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CALL YOUR LOCAL EMERGENCY SERVICES NUMBER AND NOTIFY THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES ([click here for a link to emergency and crisis resources in your area](https://www.betterhelp.com/gethelpnow)). THE PLATFORM IS NOT DESIGNED FOR USE IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED CASES AND THE THERAPISTS CANNOT PROVIDE THE ASSISTANCE REQUIRED IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED CASES. IF YOU PROCEED TO USE THE PLATFORM NOTWITHSTANDING THIS NOTICE, YOU DO SO ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
