Make a crisis card with a patient and print it small enough to keep in a wallet. Everything is filled in during the session, in the patient's own words.
What goes on the card
Early warning signs the patient recognises
Coping steps that have worked before, in order of what to try first
People to contact and how to reach them
Emergency services and out-of-hours numbers
A printable wallet-sized layout
For clinical decision support only. Not a substitute for professional judgment.
