Trusted Contacts in ChatGPT

What it is

OpenAI help article on Trusted Contact: an optional adult (18+) feature that may notify one person you choose if automated systems and trained reviewers detect a serious suicide-related safety concern.

Why I recommend it

Worth reading before you turn it on: it involves human reviewers reading flagged conversations and sharing an alert with someone else. OpenAI says it is not an emergency service. Not available in Business, Enterprise, or Edu workspaces.
