Safety plan

It is important to have a “safety plan” in order to prepare for emotional times that may come up that feel too overwhelming or too emotionally shut down. This is a list of ideas and suggestions the client comes up with in order to return the person to a state of mind where they are able to think more rationally and clearly of their present circumstances.

This includes having a list of

·      Skills to use

·      People to call

·      Professional agencies to call

·      People or things worth living for
