Here are some practical safety plan ideas. Check them out and choose which suits you. Maybe you want both an app version and a paper version.

  • Download the notOK app. (App Store, Google Play)
    Register with your email address. Add a few people as Trusted Contacts (the app sends them a text message request when you authorize it to do so). It walks you through setting up the messages you can send these contacts with just a tap of the panic button when you’re not OK, and again when you’re OK. You set these up ahead of time so they’re ready to go when you need them.

  • Another app to consider is MY3 (Apple, Google)

  • Use NowMattersNow’s plan (and here’s their guide). You can fill out one or both; see which suits you best.

  • Or try this template referenced in the USA Today article.
