Crisis Prevention Planning (CPP)
Crisis Prevention Plans
Safety Plans are how to safety proof your home.
Crisis Prevention Plans (CPPs):
- Help guide you in making choices and taking actions that help to defuse difficult situations and prevent them from reaching a crisis.
CPPs are not:
- The solution to the crisis if one occurs
- A guarantee that a crisis will not occur
When making a CPP, you will make a plan for managing difficult situations by finding, understanding, and talking about:
- Triggers that lead to negative or troublesome feelings and behaviors
- Warning signs that show a situation is headed in a negative direction and needs intervention
- Skills that youth can use to help themselves
- Actions that parents/caregivers can take to help support their child
- Others that can be called upon to help manage the situation
