A safety plan is a plan that is made to keep people safe. For example, when the fire alarm goes off everybody leaves the building on a specific route and meets outside, safe and away from the danger of a possible fire. Sometimes, there are other dangerous situations that make us feel scared for our safety or for the safety of our family. While these events are happening, it can be very difficult for us to think straight, which makes it hard for us to make good decisions that keep us safe. This is where a safety plan comes in. For a safety plan, we take time to think about the situation, what actions would best keep us safe and how we can get help. Having a safety plan that we practice can help us to act quickly and keep ourselves safe if the dangerous event ever happens.
