Assessing the Effectiveness of Self- and Clinician-administered Crisis Response Planning for Suicide Risk

Crisis Response Planning is focused on creating personalized set of steps for individuals to follow in case of a crisis and includes individuals' personal warning signs of distress, behavioral coping strategies, reasons for living, social supports to contact, and contact information for professional services, including emergency services. Personalization of the Crisis Response Plan is encouraged, and individuals are instructed to handwrite each step of the Crisis Response Plan on an index card to review.
