Safety
The AI companion is artificial intelligence. It is not Sherry, not a therapist and not any other person. Your membership does not include sessions, messages, calls or any other contact with Sherry or any human.
This page is the safety standard for this site only. The full terms are at /terms. How information is handled is at /privacy.
What this site is not
This site is psychoeducation and self-help skills. It is not therapy, not a diagnosis, and not a crisis service. Nobody monitors your use. If you are in danger or in crisis, this site cannot help you in time. Use the lines below.
The ENRICH Safety Standard
1. You are 18 or older
This site is not for minors.
2. You are not in active crisis
If you are thinking about not being here, or you are in immediate danger, pause and contact a crisis line before you continue.
3. This is psychoeducation, not therapy
The content is educational and reflective. It is not clinical treatment, not a diagnosis, and not a replacement for a licensed professional.
4. You will take breaks when you need them
This work can bring up hard material. Pause or stop when you need rest.
5. You will honor your limits
Daily limits and pacing are part of the site. Respect them, and respect your own.
6. You take responsibility for your own wellbeing
These are tools. You decide whether they are helping. If they are not, you stop.
7. How your information is handled
Read the privacy page. Journals stay in your browser. Companion messages are sent to Anthropic so the model can reply. Assessment and quiz answers are sent so they can be scored and handed back. They are not a clinical record.
The AI companion
An AI companion is a language model. It runs on Anthropic. It can be wrong. Any attempt to notice a crisis and point you to a line is imperfect. Do not rely on it as a safety plan, and do not treat it as a way to reach Sherry or anyone else.
