How Sage publishes

Safety boundaries

Sage is a relationship enrichment product, not therapy, diagnosis, crisis counseling, or emergency care.

Published and last reviewed August 29, 2026 · Sage Editorial Team

Not clinical care

Sage content offers general education and reflection prompts. It does not diagnose mental-health or relationship conditions, establish a clinician-client relationship, or replace a licensed therapist, physician, lawyer, or emergency service.

Do not delay professional care because of something you read in Sage or receive from an AI feature.

Abuse and coercive control

Mutual communication exercises are not appropriate when one person uses intimidation, monitoring, threats, isolation, financial control, stalking, or physical or sexual harm. The person experiencing harm is not responsible for repairing the dynamic with better communication.

If this may apply to you, consider a local domestic-violence service and use a safer device if your activity may be monitored. In the United States, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is available at thehotline.org.

Immediate help

If anyone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. For a suicide or mental-health crisis in the United States and Canada, call or text 988. Elsewhere, use your country’s emergency or crisis service.

Sage cannot see your location, dispatch help, monitor an emergency, or guarantee that an AI response will recognize every crisis.
