AI is triage, not therapy
If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or campus police. If you are in mental health crisis, call 988 (US Suicide and Crisis Lifeline). AI cannot keep you safe. AI can help you figure out who to call, and what to ask.
Triage prompts
Use AI to map the system, not replace it.

[short summary]
Give me a triage list:

3. What documentation should I keep starting now
4. What's a non-emergency hotline if I'm not in immediate danger
Don't give therapy. Just give me the path.Key terms in this lesson
