A small, private plan for hard moments. Yours alone — stored only on this device.
Fill in what you can, in any order. Even one box helps. There's no right answer, and you can change it any time. You can print it, save it as a PDF, or show it to someone you trust.
Based on the Stanley-Brown Safety Planning Intervention used by NHS crisis teams. Not a substitute for professional support.
Thoughts, feelings, situations or behaviours that tell me a crisis may be coming.
Activities that have helped me ride out earlier waves, without needing anyone else.
Settings or social contact that take my mind off the crisis (no need to disclose).
People I can tell what's going on. Name and how to reach them.
GP, crisis team, therapist, helplines. Numbers here so I don't have to search in a crisis.
One small thing I can do to put distance between me and what could harm me. Means restriction is the single most evidence-based crisis intervention.
Anchors. People, animals, future moments, unfinished things. To re-read when the crisis lies to you.
