A few notes
- You can leave this page any time. Closing the tab doesn’t alert anyone.
- If you want a slower pause: the Take a break button in the top nav blurs the site for 15 minutes, an hour, or a day — per front, so other parts of your system aren’t affected.
- The forum and DMs surface a soft 988 banner automatically when crisis words appear in a post. No moderator alert, no scoring. Just the line.
- You can always come back to this page at
systemsconnect.org/crisis/or via the “Crisis help” link in the top nav.
