💙 How Claude Crisis Helpline Support Works

Claude may show a crisis resource banner when a conversation touches on emotional distress. A separate detection system triggers it, and you can dismiss it.

📞 What Helplines Offer

They're free, staffed by trained people and reachable by phone, text or chat, often at any hour. You can stay anonymous.

🔒 Independence

Helplines are run separately from Anthropic, can't help with account issues, and don't receive your conversations.

💡 Pro tip For any emergency, contact local emergency services right away.

🚑 Emergencies
