Re: Topic Tuesday // How to build a safety plan with a loved one // 24 Oct. 7pm AEDT
Does anyone have a loved one who has a safety plan?
If so, how did you approach the conversation about the safety plan? Was it your idea... their idea???

@Shaz51I do like that idea, it is something that is forgotten when those thoughts are going through your head

I thought I would also share this other framework:
A more holistic approach to planning is WRAP (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) - which is a plan not just for times when the person is feeling suicidal, but is a recovery plan.
It that covers:
Wellness tool box
Daily Maintenance Plan to stay well
Identifying triggers
Identifying early warning signs
Identifying ‘when things are breaking down’ and are getting worse
Crisis planning
Post crisis planning (which I think is really important and isn’t covered in most plans!)
Watch the clip below for more info
Has anyone heard of this one?

He does usually, but I am noticing a few things not quite right at the moment and he gets very irritated if I suggest him speaking to a counsellor or his doctor.

@NikNik
Do you think there is a difference to how plan should look with various diagnoses ie BP vs Sz vs PTSD etc

@Misty2, does he talk to his doctor when you suggest this
My husband has no MI team, when I notice a few things not quite right at the moment and he gets very irritated , anxious, flustered I go through the checklist like food ,
making a rest day available like today and he was annoyed with me but then he ended up sleeping for 6 hours today @NikNik wow

I think the plans should be different person to person and created by the individual - so I'm not sure if they would look the same across diagnosis or just different person to person... if that makes sense.
