How MelanVow handles crisis moments

MelanVow watches for language that suggests you might be in crisis — like thoughts of self-harm or signs of abuse. When it does, it will gently pause the session and surface the resources on this page. MelanVow cannot contact emergency services on your behalf and is not monitored by humans in real time, so please reach out to the hotlines above directly when you need urgent help.
