A Plan for Hard Moments
Because support doesn't have to begin at the point of crisis.
Sometimes it helps to have a plan before a difficult moment arrives. This resource offers a place to think ahead about how you know you're having a harder time, what helps you feel grounded or connected, who you can turn toward, and what support might look like when you need it.
You can work through it on your own, revisit it as your life changes, or use it as a starting point for a conversation with someone you trust.
A note about this resource: This is a self-guided tool for reflection and preparation. It does not replace professional mental health care, crisis intervention, emergency services, or individualized safety planning with a qualified professional. If you are in immediate danger or believe you may act on thoughts of harming yourself or someone else, please seek crisis or emergency support rather than relying on this resource alone.
