Intellect’s Policy on Crisis or Emergency Care
Intellect is not a substitute for a medical professional, a crisis hotline or a rehabilitation centre.
The list of contacts are possible avenues you can seek help outside the Intellect platform. We are not able to provide exact guidance, apart from encouraging seeking help from medical professionals, for legal reasons.
If you or anyone you know shows warning signs of personal crisis/ self harm or harm to others, it is important to act quickly and gather information to determine appropriate next steps.
The list belowabove provides the following information:
- Online resources on suicide
- Crisis hotlines in the respective countries.
