A family member needs help

Many people arrive here for someone they love, not for themselves. This page is written for you — the family member — and never asks you to describe what the other person did.

Your first step

What this page will cover

Structural placeholder. The full guide — written in the abstract, statute-cited where a legal value applies (doc #5), reviewed under the sensitive-tier rules where relevant — is produced by the content engine in Phase 2. No legal specifics are shown until they are verified.
