DSC Knowledge Buddy · In Development

A developing AI-supported companion to DSC's frameworks and insights.

Knowledge Buddy is designed to make DSC's frameworks, checklists, and educational content accessible on demand — while keeping human consulting, supervision, and professional counsel where they belong. It is not a therapy tool and it is not a replacement for Dr. Carrera.

Important Scope

DSC Knowledge Buddy will be a guided educational and operational support tool. It does not replace consulting engagements, therapy, legal advice, compliance counsel, or clinical supervision. It is not for emergencies. For crisis or emergency situations, contact 911 or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
