A safety plan can be useful in all sorts of situations. It can be helpful for people experiencing suicidal ideation or urges to self-harm, for people who are dealing with abuse or unsafe situations at home or school, and for people dealing with maladaptive coping strategies who may be put in situations that tempt them to act on their thoughts. It doesn't even have to be a "serious" or "crisis" situation - if you think that you may feel unsafe, scared or at risk at some point, you may find making a safety plan can help give you some peace of mind.
