Welcome to Safety Plan
What is a Safety Plan?
Staying safe when dealing with thoughts of suicide requires a lot of strength. Our safety plan is a form, that can help in times of distress. It aims to capture anything to help staying safe, such as coping mechanisms, support networks (both personal and professional), any risks which may need removing, distractions and more.
The safety plan can be a personal tool or shared with trusted friends, family, or professionals to ensure you have support when needed. You can complete the form, then save or print it, or create an account to update your safety plan in the future.
Why create a Safety Plan?
It's Your Personal Lifeline
A safety plan is like having a trusted friend on speed dial, always ready with the right words and actions when you need them most. It's tailored specifically to you, packed with strategies that work for you, and accessible whenever you need it.
It Empowers You to Take Control
Creating a safety plan is an act of self-care and courage. It puts you in the driver's seat of your mental health journey. By identifying your triggers, listing your coping strategies, and outlining your support network, you're actively preparing yourself to face challenges.
It Could Save Your Life
In a moment of crisis, having a concrete plan can make all the difference. Your safety plan reminds you of your reasons for living, connects you with supportive people, and guides you to professional help when needed. It's not just a document – it's a powerful tool that could literally save your life.
