When a message describes a medical emergency, thoughts of suicide or self-harm, abuse, or an eating disorder, ChatPEP answers with resources like these before anything else. For a medical emergency, it answers with the emergency numbers above and nothing more.

No one is alerted when you send a message, so ChatPEP and its support inbox are not ways to get help in an emergency. Call the numbers above instead.
