What happens if someone shares thoughts of self-harm.
The Wall scans every submission for language suggesting imminent danger to the writer or someone else. When that language appears, three things happen in order:
- The post is not published. Crisis content is not put on the public Wall.
- This page opens immediately, with the helplines above and a clear next step.
- The submission is flagged for our team to review — anonymously, we never know who wrote it. The helplines above are the right next step; we keep checking in on these so no one is left unheard.
The detection list is intentionally tuned to surface help even when we’re not sure — false positives are fine; false negatives are not. We never read who you are, because we never ask.
What MannMatters is.
We are teens, holding a quiet place for other teens to be honest. We are not a hospital, we are not a clinic. If something feels bigger than what a friend can hold, please use one of the lines above — they’re free, confidential, and answered by people who do this for a living.
