Had a post from beyondblue show up on my Facebook page a few minutes ago. It could be something a few around here could find very useful.
Safety
planning is exactly what it sounds like – creating a plan to stay safe
during those really difficult moments. The BeyondNow app makes this
suicide prevention tool even more valuable by putting your plan in your
pocket – you’ll always have it on hand if you need it. It can be hard to
think clearly when you’re in a suicidal crisis or having thoughts or
feelings about suicide. Having all your
warning signs, coping strategies, reasons for living and support listed
in one place means you can focus on working through the steps until you
feel safe. We hope that you and your loved ones will never need this
app. But if you do, we hope it can guide you through the tough times.
You can download the app from the App Store or Google Play."
You can find our more on the BeyondNow web page.
I haven't looked at it fully myself but it looks good & perhaps it can be used for other types of crisis or distress too. Hopefully this is something that will help when we need it most.
Take care all.
