If you are in immediate danger, call 911 now.
For mental health crisis support, call or text 988 — free, confidential, 24/7.
Your safety is our highest priority. This page exists so that help is always one click away — no matter what you are going through.
A safety plan is a personalized, practical guide you create before a crisis — so that when things get hard, you already know what to do. Shield Bear can help you build yours.
What thoughts, feelings, or situations signal that you may be heading toward a crisis?
What can you do on your own to distract yourself or calm down? (e.g., breathing, walking, journaling)
Who can you contact to take your mind off things — not necessarily to talk about the crisis?
Who in your life can you tell how you're really feeling? Name at least one person.
If steps 1–4 haven't helped, reach out to a counselor, therapist, or the 988 Lifeline.
Remove or secure anything that could be used to harm yourself. Ask someone to help if needed.
(Un)Bearable uses a multi-level crisis detection system. If your conversation indicates you may be in danger, Shield Bear will gently check in, provide immediate crisis resources, and encourage you to reach out to a professional.
The 988 crisis button is visible on every page and in every chat session — always one click away, no matter where you are in the app.
(Un)Bearable is not a substitute for professional mental health care, emergency services, or crisis intervention. If you are in immediate danger, please call 911.
