Safety Plan App​: VA Resource of the Month

resources

VA News – Having structure in your day can provide direction and help you know what to expect, and for Veterans who may be struggling with thoughts of suicide, having a safety plan is critical for addressing a crisis

That’s why VA worked with Veterans and health care providers to create an app that guides you through the process step by step, making it easier to create a plan that works for you. Even though you may be facing life challenges, you don’t have to face them alone.

The main goal of the app is to help you develop your safety plan, including:

  1. Warning Signs (that I may be headed toward a crisis).
  2. Ways I Can Cope (on my own).
  3. My Distractions (places I can go, and people I can call).
  4. Friends and Family I Can Call (for support).
  5. Professionals I Can Call (in times of crisis).
  6. Keeping Myself Safe (by limiting my access to dangerous objects).
