Intellect's Policy on Extreme or Emergency Cases
Intellect should not be perceived as a substitute for a medical professional, a crisis hotline or a rehabilitation centre.
Hence, we are not in the capacity to support individuals suffering from severe mental health disorders or suicidal thoughts.
For legal reasons, we are not able to explicitly advise or guide on the exact steps, apart from seeking a medical professional.
If you or anyone you know shows warning signs of suicide, it is important to act quickly and gather information to determine appropriate next steps.
