The RTS Bot stands for Real Time Support Bot, and provides on-demand mental health/crisis resources. It has a library of resources available to individuals when they need it most, and can be accessed via Twitch and Discord.
Adding The Bot To Your Server
To invite the RTS bot to your Discord server, this invite link will allow server admins the ability to add the bot to servers they manage.
After the bot joins, you will need to make sure the bot's role has been granted permission to the channel(s) where you want users to have access to use commands.
We suggest setting up a special channel for individuals to have a dedicated space to gather resources.

Using Bot Commands
Now that you have invited the RTS Bot into your community, you are ready to start utilizing all the resources and tools in the bot.
The bot's prefix for commands is ! and you can use !help to get info on commands.
To see a full list of resources in the bot type !list to show a list of all resource keywords
To retrieve information on a specific resource, take the keyword from the !list response and use that as a command like !anxiety to get the entry example from above.
If you would like to gather resources on your own using the RTS bot you can use this library or prefix !dm before each command, such as !dm anxiety. The response will be sent to you as a direct message. You can also directly DM the bot any command.
