Using Crisis Plans as an effective part of counseling to build resilience to symptom increases and life stressors. In addition to being a useful (and in some cases required) document, Crisis Plans can guide important conversations about medication use and changes, self-monitoring and using supports to monitor changes in symptoms and coping, and proactive planning for when additional supports are needed. Products of Person-Centered Crisis Planning include fostering consumers’ skills for self-advocacy and creating records we can use to advocate on consumers’ behalf for times when they are unable to self-advocate effectively.
