Strategies for Creating Safety Plans
- Course and severity of mental health conditions influence safety planning. Example: a person with severe depression who is suicidal may require more frequent check-ins and support than someone with less severe symptoms.
- Psycho/social circumstances play a role in safety planning. Factors like social support, housing stability, and financial resources are essential to consider.
- Treatment compliance with medication and psychotherapy is crucial. Non-compliance can increase risk factors. Therefore, ensuring adherence to treatment plans is critical to safety planning.
- Parent’s understanding and acceptance of their condition is vital for a child or adolescent experiencing mental health issues. It creates a more open and supportive environment for treatment adherence and safety planning.
- Developing a peer support system can offer a sense of belonging and can encourage healthy coping mechanisms, contributing to a positive safety plan.
