WhereIsMyBuddy is a small habits app. We are not a crisis service, and we cannot replace one. We list these resources here because some weeks the practice is not the point, and someone reaching for the app might need somewhere else first.

Nothing you write in your journal or your activities is shared with these services. Reaching out to them is your decision; reaching them is your work.
