Safety & Crisis Policy
We take your safety seriously. This page explains how ManFlu Hotline handles crisis situations, safety escalation, and our clear limits as a support service.
What ManFlu Hotline Is Not
Our Crisis Escalation Policy
Disclosure: If a member appears to be suicidal, at risk of serious self-harm, threatening harm to others, experiencing active abuse, reporting abuse of a child or vulnerable person, or facing imminent danger — ManFlu Hotline may contact emergency services, medical professionals, crisis responders, law enforcement, or other appropriate authorities where legally permitted or required. The goal is to protect life and safety.
Risk Detection
Our AI and support staff monitor for signals including suicidal ideation, threats of harm, abuse disclosures, overdose, and immediate danger.
Human Review
High-risk flags are immediately reviewed by trained support staff who assess and respond appropriately.
Escalation
Where life or safety is at risk, we may escalate to emergency services. Confidentiality is not absolute when safety is at stake.
