Please Note: If someone is at imminent risk of harming themselves, safety planning is not possible. Call 911.

You cannot create a safety plan if you are currently in crisis. Develop it when you are relatively calm so that it can be easily referred to when a crisis or suicidal thoughts arise.

It is not appropriate to create a safety plan if you are intoxicated or using drugs, or if your mental health is currently affecting your perception of reality.
