erelimFor parents and caregivers of a child or teen at risk of suicide
Not the child. The adult holding it together: the watch at night, the one who hides the medication, the one who has to know what to say when their child is thinking about suicide. That person is who erelim is built for.
Why it exists
A child comes home from the emergency room, and for the next few weeks the parent is the whole system. Most are never taught how, and many are too ashamed to ask. The help that exists is scattered across different places, and the hardest week is the worst time to assemble it.
erelim puts the practical pieces in one calm place, and treats the parent as the person being supported.
What erelim does
Helps you make your home safer during the risk period, step by step.
Helps you learn your child’s warning signs, and rehearse what to say.
Helps you find people to lean on, and reach care when you need it.
Holds a copy of the safety plan your child made with their clinicians, and explains your part.
Helps you look after your own wellbeing, which is part of your child’s care.
Answers your questions and points you to the right tools, or to a person.
What erelim does not do
It is not a crisis line. When someone is in danger, it points you to 988 and 911.
It is not therapy, and it is not a clinician. It does not diagnose or treat.
It does not decide how at risk your child is, and it does not monitor you or your child.
It does not replace your child’s care team. They stay the experts.
It never shares what you enter with other users, and it does not sell your data.
It can’t promise to fix this. It can make a hard stretch a little less heavy.
How we’re careful
We build only on approaches with real evidence behind them: securing lethal means, validation, asking directly, safety planning, and caring for the parent. Where something is promising but unproven, we say so. We would rather point you to a person than guess, and the assistant answers from guidance that has been reviewed.
Above all, we try to remove shame. You are not being judged here.
Private by design
What you enter is private to you. It is never shared with other users, and we don’t sell it. Any email we send is a neutral notice with a link back into the app, never sensitive detail.
You don’t have to carry this alone.
Get startederelim is not a crisis service; in an emergency call 911, or call or text 988.
