Here for someone

Make a crisis plan together

Fill this in with the person you are supporting during a steadier period, then print it and keep it somewhere you can both find.

It can be hard to think clearly during a crisis. This plan records early warning signs, what helps and who to call. Write it with the person so it reflects their preferences.
