The Human Check-In feature connects Core subscribers with Todd and Noelah, the founders of The Hard Answer, for text-based peer accountability support.
Peer support in the tradition of programs like Alcoholics Anonymous. Two people who have lived experience with the challenges this platform addresses, checking in on your progress, listening without judgment, and holding you to what you said you wanted.
Therapy. Counseling. Medical advice. Psychiatric care. A therapeutic relationship of any kind. Todd and Noelah are not licensed therapists, psychologists, counselors, or medical professionals. Nothing shared in a Human Check-In constitutes medical or mental health treatment.
Text-based only at this time. Response within 24 hours on business days. Check-ins are not a crisis hotline and are not monitored in real time.
Listen. Encourage. Tell you the truth. Hold you accountable to your own stated commitments. Show up consistently within our stated response window.
Diagnose any condition. Recommend medications or treatments. Provide crisis counseling. Be available outside of business hours for emergencies.
If you are in crisis or experiencing thoughts of self-harm or suicide, please call or text 988 immediately. If you share content in a Human Check-In message that indicates immediate risk to yourself or others, we will respond with crisis resources and disengage from the conversation. We are not equipped to provide crisis intervention and you deserve care from someone who is.
Users engage with the Human Check-In feature with full understanding that it is peer accountability support only. The Hard Answer, its founders, and its operators accept no liability for outcomes related to addiction recovery, mental health, or medical conditions.
