A practical tool to stay safe during difficult moments
A safety plan is a personalized roadmap to support you during moments of crisis. It is a written guide that helps you recognize warning signs, explore coping strategies, and identify trusted people and professional resources to turn to when experiencing suicidal thoughts.
