Google has updated its Gemini AI offering with a "Help is available" module that will provide connections to care when a conversation signals a user may need mental health support, and a "one-touch" interface with an immediate connection to a crisis hotline should the AI recognize references to possible suicide or self-harm.
The "Help is available" module will provide immediate connections to real-world resources and human support, while the "one-touch" offering will provide a direct route to quickly connect with real‑world crisis hotlines or support services via call, text, chat or through the hotline's website.
