Safety and support
Choice Labz™ is an educational simulation. It is not the right tool for deciding questions of safety, abuse, coercion, or crisis, and it never tries to be.
If someone may be in immediate danger
Call 911 or your local emergency number now. Do not use this or any app in an emergency.
When conflict practice is not appropriate
Communication and decision exercises assume a basic level of safety for everyone involved. Where abuse, coercive control, intimidation, stalking, or a serious power imbalance may be present, joint communication practice and mediation-style exercises can be inappropriate or unsafe. A qualified local professional, advocate, or attorney can help assess what is appropriate for your situation.

What Choice Labz™ does instead
When a fictional scenario touches a safety concern, the simulation stops and says so plainly, then points to human support. It never adjudicates, never investigates, and never decides whether an allegation is true.
