You can start a conversation with Tod by calling the designated Tod Listens phone number. No app or screen is needed—just call and start talking. Tod is available 24/7, so you can reach out whenever you need to chat.

Tod is not a substitute for professional therapy. While Tod offers reflective and supportive listening, it’s intended as a conversational guide rather than a mental health professional. If Tod detects that you might benefit from additional support, it will gently suggest reaching out to licensed counselors or services like the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
