Escalation Guide (Required Reading)

This guide outlines the exact steps to follow if a member expresses crisis language or emotional overwhelm during a listening session. It protects both you and the member by keeping the interaction safe, grounded, and within MadlySane boundaries.

  • Mention of harming someone else
  • Describing being in immediate danger
  • Expressing inability to stay safe
  • Extreme emotional dysregulation
  • Asking for crisis help, advice, or direction

What to Say (Exact Script)

“I’m here to listen, but I’m not trained for crisis support. I encourage you to reach out to a crisis hotline or emergency services in your area.”

Repeat once if needed. Do not modify or expand the script.

What to Do

  • Stay calm and grounded
  • Deliver the script clearly
  • Gently end the session
  • Do not continue the conversation
  • Do not attempt to de-escalate
  • Do not give advice or resources beyond the script

What You Never Do
