Step 1

Warning signs

Thoughts, feelings, images or situations that come up before a crisis.

We’ll list these together.

Step 2

Things I can do on my own

Internal coping strategies — no one else needed. Grounding, movement, distraction.

Add a few calming strategies.

Step 3

People & places that help me feel calm

Social settings and company that distract — not for asking for help yet.

Add people or places that help.

Step 4

People I can ask for help

Trusted people the patient would talk to when struggling. Add how to reach them.

Add at least one trusted person.

Step 5

Professionals & crisis lines

Clinician, crisis team and 24/7 lines. Confirm the numbers for your service.

Add clinical contacts and a 24/7 line.

Step 6

Making my space safer

Means-safety steps — put time and distance between the patient and anything harmful.

Agree practical means-safety steps.

Reasons for living

The people, plans and things that matter — worth coming back to.

Patient copy

Copying, printing, or saving a PDF moves the plan outside PsychSift. Add any patient identifier only after export, using your organisation's approved clinical record and handling process.

Draft — this plan is incomplete. Finish every step, and give each contact a way to reach them, before giving it to a patient.
