Given that no one is a verified counselor the sub is largely redundant at best, knowingly harmful at worse. It is rife with low-effort karma farming, and toxicity, among the defaults.

Largely true with two caveats.

1. We're trying to keep the subreddit as accessible as possible to people with nowhere else to turn. This is 𝐇ard.

2. There's at least one verified crisis counselor who frequently comments - u/ebbie45. We've verified their credentials.

I stand corrected.
