ChatGPT has a feature to help those in crisis. But where can you find it?

Chat GPT says it has feature that allows a user to give ChatGPT info about someone they trust that the chatbot can contact if the user is in distress.

Earlier this year, OpenAI launched a feature on ChatGPT meant to help people at risk of suicide connect with someone they trust for support. But its setup may prove challenging to someone in crisis.
