How the coach responds to distress
When a message shows signs of self-harm, suicide, abuse or violence, the coach stops coaching for that turn, responds with care, shares the lines above for your country, and encourages you to reach someone you trust. It never provides information about methods. If you tell the coach it is the only one you talk to, it will gently encourage you to reach out to people in your life.
