A safety plan is a personalized, written set of steps and resources designed to help someone recognize early warning signs of crisis, employ coping strategies, and access support when symptoms become overwhelming. It typically includes identification of triggers and warning signs, a list of internal coping skills, supportive people to contact, crisis resources and emergency contacts, and practical steps to maintain a safe environment. Safety planning encourages proactive care and connects individuals with trusted supports and professionals before a crisis escalates.
