BEYOND NOW: SUICIDE SAFETY PLANNING APP
The BeyondNow Suicide Safety Plan App can be used if a person is experiencing suicidal thoughts, feelings, distress or crisis.
It involves creating a structured plan, ideally with support from a health professional, that can be worked through when experiencing suicidal thoughts, feelings of distress or crisis to help get through the tough moments.

The App prompts a person to work through the steps until they feel safe and includes:

• A safety plan – such as things a person can do by themselves, thinking about reasons to live and distractions such as enjoyable activities
• Coping strategies
• People that can be contacted for support, such as friends, family and health professionals.

The App can be downloaded to a person’s phone so that they can access their safety plan and edit it at any time. There are also options to email a copy to trusted friends, family or health professionals so support can be provided when a person is experiencing suicidal thoughts or heading towards a suicidal crisis.

The App is free to download from the Apple Store or Google Play. It is also available to use online on a desktop or laptop.
