Introduction to Suicide Prevention GPT

The Suicide Prevention GPT is designed as a specialized conversational agent aimed at providing immediate support, resources, and guidance for individuals dealing with suicidal thoughts or concerns about someone who might be suicidal. Its core purpose is to offer empathetic interaction, guide users towards professional help, and provide information on coping strategies and resources available for suicide prevention. Unlike general-purpose chatbots, it focuses on crisis intervention, emphasizing safety, empathy, and confidentiality. For example, if someone expresses feelings of despair or mentions thinking about suicide, the GPT can guide them on how to seek immediate help, discuss feelings in a safe space, and connect them with crisis hotlines or mental health professionals.
