This template is for managing low-risk situations such as clients reporting difficult or overwhelming emotions, a history of substance use, chronic health conditions, or other unsafe situations that are unlikely to result in significant harm to clients or communities. This safety plan template is appropriate for clients who are low risk but may still benefit from the practical, structured support provided by a plan. The template can be edited to include information most relevant to specific clients, programs, and communities. We recommend that supervisors and/or mental health professionals on your team review and approve the template prior to use with clients.
