WHAT'S INSIDE

Every safety domain a mental-health app needs to get right.

Crisis safety isn’t one feature — it’s five interconnected domains. The checklist walks through every one in plain language, tiered by launch criticality, so you know what’s a blocker versus what’s good practice.

A LOOK INSIDE

Crisis-safety for wellness apps, broken down checkpoint by checkpoint.

Each checkpoint is clearly worded — what’s required, what good looks like, and the most common way product teams miss it. No jargon, no boilerplate from a legal template. Designed to be completed in one working session.

  • 28 numbered checkpoints, tiered by risk criticality
  • Covers all 5 domains: detection, escalation, AI guardrails, privacy & process
  • A scoring guide: launch blocker / ship with a plan / audit-ready
  • Print-friendly. Walk it in a team session and mark up gaps live.
SAMPLE ITEM
Domain 02 · Escalation & Response
Escalation & Response
When a crisis signal fires, the user needs a compassionate response and real resources — immediately, in-context, not buried in settings.
2.2
Are crisis resources region-correct and reachable in one tap?
Compliant looks like
Resources resolve to the user's region (988 in US, regional equivalents elsewhere). Call, text, and chat links are tappable and tested on iOS and Android.
Common failure
A single hardcoded US number shown to all users globally, not linked as a tappable tel: href.
2.5
Does the app avoid letting AI alone handle an active-risk user?
Compliant looks like
An automated agent is never the sole responder to an active-risk signal — it routes to human support or established crisis resources.
Common failure
AI coach responds to "I want to hurt myself" with a wellness tip and no escalation path.

WHO IT'S FOR

Built for the people actually shipping mental-health and wellness products.

Founders pre-launch

Your app lets users type how they feel. Before you ship, you need to know your crisis detection, escalation, and AI guardrails are actually in place — not just planned.

Heads of Product

You’re the one an enterprise buyer or clinical partner will ask about safety design. The checklist gives you a defensible, documented answer across every domain.

Teams adding AI features

Shipping an AI coach or chat feature? The guardrails domain covers red-teaming, harmful-output prevention, and the human-review loop most teams skip.

Want a second set of eyes before you ship?

If a 30-minute safety review would surface your gaps faster than walking the checklist alone, that’s also free. We’ll screen-share your detection and escalation flows live and tell you exactly what to close first. No pitch.
