Some tips
I have some tips to improve this. Anyone read these reviews?
Helpful!!
Thank you for this app! It’s great that people can easily forward their Safety Plan to others on their team! One typo I notice under the “warning signs” -it should be “or behaviors” not “of behaviors”. Also, I would recommend adding the new 988 information!
Limited
It’s got all the traditional steps for a safety plan and it’s nice to have that in a siloed place but it cut me off at 9 coping skills and I’m betting the other steps have limits too… shouldn’t the goal be to have as many resources as possible so if some don’t work you’ve got more to try? Build a bigger toolbox over time?

Saving Lives
This app really incorporates all of the evidence to prevent suicide. Highly recommend and use this often. So easy to use and has all the info you need.
Excellent Resource at Your Fingertips
This is a great app that puts a safety plan at a person’s fingertips. I’ve seen safety plans help clients when they are in crisis, yet one of the biggest complaints is that they don’t necessarily have that piece of paper with them….what they do have is their phone! This solves that issue!
As a therapist- I love it for teens!
I love this for my teen clients, because they often don’t want to reference a hard paper copy of their safety plan. This ensures they will always have their plan on them on their phones and would be more likely to stick to it.
One suggestion for the app would be if there could be an option to “share” your safety plan. This would be helpful to share a child’s plan with their parents so the parents can be on board with safety, or could be helpful for adults who want a spouse or friend or other trusted person to have access to their plan. Otherwise the app is great!!!

Response from developer
Thanks for the suggestion! The app has now been updated with the option to share your safety plan :)
Export function
Hi, this is a great app. I am a therapist and really think this could be a helpful tool. A major feature missing is an export link that clients can share the safety plan (what they typed in the text boxes) with their therapist, parents or other people they deem apart of the safety plan. Is this possible to add?

You get out of it what you put in
This is a great app to have to remind you of stuff when you might not be in the best state of mind to remember it. It only works if you’re honest with yourself and make sure to include and write down all your warning signs and stuff like that. I’ve used this app for years and it’s very helpful. It’d be nice if there was a cloud save/backup feature for when you get a new device.

Great
Great app I’m 13 and dealing with a lot of stuff for 2 years I don’t like talking about my problems to my therapist so I got this app thinking it isn’t going to work so I’m doing this for now also thinking it’s helping
Thank you
Honestly, thank you
Way better than paper!
I have recommended this several times to others & many different mental health professionals. I have received very positive feedback from them. The just plain love it!
I had & have outstanding mental health care by the VA. However, a safety plan on a sheet of paper, upon leaving the hospital or in the course of outpatient treatment, is not practical. It’ll get lost, destroyed in the laundry, the dog will eat it, it might be shredded accidentally, or just plain wear out. Most people carry around their cell phone. This app is easy to use, wise to have, has a great layout, & was thoughtfully designed.
I recommend you review your plan every 3 months & write down what changes you think your plan needs then review with your psychotherapist before updating it. If you don’t have the energy to devote to updating it (yes, depression can do that), talk it out every 3 months with your psychotherapist (you are worth it, darn it!). I would give this app 10 stars if that were possible.

A Beautiful Contribution To The World.
We need more apps like this. It is so important, but always overlooked. This is a deep thank you to the creators, I wish more people would use apps like this.
Recommend
This app is more useful than you think. I’ve filled all of the sections and look at them every single day! It helps me so much and keeps me going through life.
Nice app to have
I highly recommend anyone with any type of mental illness to download this app. And share among your friends and family. Nice little tool to have if your ever in crisis or going through a rough time. Wish anyone who has or downloads this app the best out of life and god bless:)
Very helpful
I’m a emergency psychiatrist and often I recommend this app to patients. Simple and effective
Great, helpful app!!!
I’m enjoying interacting with this app, but would like to suggest an improvement. I’d like to see an integrated journal functionality, to be able to track thoughts, events, etc... nothing elaborate, simple note taking capabilities, with time/date stamp, or presented in a calendar style. Aside from that, its a great app!!!
