Chat2Fit is committed to protecting users who may be navigating eating disorders or disordered eating patterns. This page outlines how we design for safety, resources that may help, and steps to take when additional support is needed.
If you are in crisis, contact emergency services or a crisis helpline right away. In the United States call or text 988. In the UK & ROI contact Samaritans at 116 123. In Canada reach out to Talk Suicide Canada at 1-833-456-4566. If your country is not listed, consult local health authorities for urgent support.
Persistent thoughts about food, weight, or body image, anxiety around meals, rapid weight change, purging, restriction, or compulsive exercise can signal the need for clinical care. A licensed physician, therapist, or dietitian specializing in eating disorders can provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment plans personalized to your needs.
Our coaching engine includes safeguards that reduce triggering language, escalates supportive tone, and surfaces crisis resources when disordered eating risks are detected. Coaches do not deliver diagnoses. They aim to encourage self-care, hydration, rest, and reaching out to professionals or trusted people.
Small grounding actions—breathing exercises, gentle movement, supportive affirmations, or connecting with a friend—can help interrupt difficult cycles. Prioritize hydration, balanced meals when possible, and restful sleep. These steps do not replace therapy but can keep you steady while you seek help.
If a loved one is struggling, approach with empathy. Avoid comments on weight or appearance and focus on feelings and behaviors. Encourage professional care, offer to accompany them, and share crisis resources. Chat2Fit should not be used instead of specialized treatment.
Consider organizations such as the National Eating Disorders Association (nationaleatingdisorders.org), Beat Eating Disorders (beateatingdisorders.org.uk), and the Butterfly Foundation (butterfly.org.au). These groups provide helplines, recovery programs, and educational materials worldwide.
You can adjust notification quiet hours, panic cooldowns, and language filters within Chat2Fit. If any message feels unsafe or you need stricter guardrails, contact support so we can review and tighten protections on your account.
We want every user to feel safe. Email hello@chat2fit.com with questions, safety concerns, or feedback so we can help connect you to appropriate resources and continue improving our support.
