Suicide Safety Plan

These feelings will pass.

Keep this plan where you can easily find it.

When you feel you need it, follow the plan one step at a time.

What I need to do to reduce the risk of me acting on the suicidal thoughts:

What warning signs or triggers are there that make me feel more out of control? What makes it harder for me to keep safe?

What have I done in the past that helped? What ways of coping do I have? What I will do to help calm and soothe myself:

What would I say to someone else who was feeling this way?

What could others do that would help? What has helped in the past? Things people have said, things I put in place to keep safe?
