More than anything, we hope you know that your life matters, that there is so much worth living for. Holding on to this belief doesn’t mean difficult chapters don’t exist or hard days won’t happen. In those moments, we need to be reminded of the good that still exists. So today we’re asking you to practice self-compassion by being proactive and creating a Self-Care and Safety Plan using the template provided. When heavy seasons or intrusive thoughts arise, these simple but thoughtful plans can guide you in caring for yourself and reaching out to a safe person or place for support when you need it. You can print this out and leave it in your wallet or car, snap a picture and save it to your phone, or even share it with a trusted friend.
