Safety plan worksheet
Seven boxes on one page: warning signs, things that help, people and places that distract you, people you can tell, professionals and crisis lines, making your space safer, and what you are holding on for. Best filled in on a calmer day, with a clinician or a 988 counselor if you can.
Open the safety plan worksheet →Household crisis plan
For family, partners and roommates: the early signs you have seen before, what the person wants you to do, clinicians and after-hours numbers, medications, hospital preference, and who covers kids, pets and work.
Open the household crisis plan →The safety plan belongs to the person who may be in crisis. The household plan covers what that person cannot do in the moment: calling the prescriber, handing over a medication list, getting the kids picked up. If someone in your home has been through a crisis before, you probably want both. Each worksheet pairs with a guide: how to make a safety plan and helping someone in a mental health crisis.
