Section objectives

This section will help you answer the following questions:

I have determined whether or not I am going to report my patient’s situation to the authorities- what else should I do?

What is a safety plan and which patients should have one?

I’m already busy- what if I don’t have time to help a patient make a safety plan?

How do I know what services to recommend for patients?

My patient doesn’t want help- now what?

What services are available for caregivers?

Where can I get more information about safety planning and available resources?
