Make a Safety Plan

a guide for crisis

A safety plan is designed to guide you through a crisis. As you continue  through the steps, you can get help and feel safer. Keep your plan  easily accessible in case you have thoughts of hurting yourself. 

    

  1. Recognize your personal warning signs: What  thoughts, images, moods, situations, and behaviors indicate to you that a  crisis may be developing? Write these down in your own words.
  2. Use your own coping strategies: List things that you can do on your own to help you not act on urges to harm yourself.
  3. Socialize with others who may offer support as well as distraction from the crisis: List people and social settings that may help take your mind off of difficult thoughts or feelings.
  4. Contact family members or friends who may help to resolve a crisis: Make a list of people who are supportive and who you feel you can talk to when under stress.
  5. Contact mental health professionals or agencies: Make  a list of names, numbers and/or locations of clinicians, local  emergency rooms, and crisis hotlines. Put the Lifeline number,  1-800-273-8255, into your phone.
  6. Ensure your environment is safe: Have you thought  of ways in which you might harm yourself? Work with a counselor to  develop a plan to limit your access to these means.
