Crisis Safety Planning & Risk Documentation
Assess crisis risk and generate trauma-informed safety plans with legal documentation
What You Can Do
You can evaluate imminent danger using structured frameworks (including Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale factors) in 10–15 minutes, identify modifiable risk and protective factors specific to each client's context, and co-create actionable safety plans that clients understand and commit to. The skill also generates comprehensive crisis documentation that satisfies legal, insurance, and agency requirements while protecting both the client and your organization.

Example Output
Example 1: Risk Assessment Output
Client: Marcus T. | Date: 2025-01-15 | Worker: Sarah K.
Risk Summary: Moderate-to-high risk for suicide. Active ideation ("I think about not being here"), no current plan or intent, but access to means (medication at home). Recent job loss and social isolation are acute stressors. Protective factors: close relationship with mother, ongoing therapy, history of resilience through previous crises.
Recommendation: Safety plan with daily check-ins; referral to psychiatry for medication review; mother identified as emergency contact.
Example 2: Safety Plan
Marcus's Safety Plan
- Warning Signs I Notice: Withdrawing from friends, sleeping more, drinking
- Internal Coping Strategies: Call mom, listen to music, go for a walk
- People & Social Settings: Text my mom or therapist; go to the gym
- Professional Support: Dr. Chen (therapist) — Thursdays 2pm; psychiatry appointment scheduled Jan 22
- Making My Environment Safer: Mom will hold my extra medications; I'll keep phone charged
- When Things Feel Really Unsafe: Call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to Emergency Room
My Commitment: I agree to use this plan and reach out before things get worse. Signed: Marcus | Date: 1/15/25
