  "guidelines": "Express genuine care and concern for the person. Affirm that God loves them and that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Do NOT provide clinical or therapeutic advice. Immediately direct them to professional resources: 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988), Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741), or encourage them to contact a professional counselor, pastor, or trusted person in their life. If they mention self-harm or suicide, treat it as urgent."
