Your one-page safety plan
A personal playbook for the moments when an urge or crisis hits. Fill it once, keep it close, and print a copy for your wallet, fridge, or nightstand.
Warning signs
Thoughts, feelings, situations, or behaviors that tell you a crisis or urge may be building.
Internal coping strategies
Things you can do alone to take your mind off the urge — without contacting another person.
People & places that distract
Healthy social settings or activities that pull your focus away from the urge.
People I can ask for help
Trusted friends or family who know what's going on and have agreed to be on your list.
Professionals & crisis lines
Therapist, sponsor, doctor, hotline. Always include 988 (US/Canada) or your local equivalent.
Making my environment safer
What can you remove, lock up, hand off, or block to lower the risk in a vulnerable moment?
Reasons to keep going
What's worth staying for, what you're building, who you're becoming.
