You Mental Health Disaster Plan should include A list of Core People. This list should include those that know what your diagnosis/ issue is, are familiar with your needs during a crisis, and are willing to be there even when others might see it as an inconvenience.

There are a few things we need to do before putting names on this list. Keep in mind these people or this person will need to be there during your most vulnerable and potentially darkest moments. We have to choose this list carefully.

We’ll step through this process in a few steps:

  1. Who are you before, during, and after a crisis?
  2. What do you need during a crisis?
  3. Who can you trust?
  4. Who is willing?
  5. Who is best?
