Lifeline has developed a tool to support individuals to plan for and respond to crisis situations. The Coping Kit helps clients identify signs of being overwhelmed by noting their level of distress and recording common triggers. By responding to the questions within the kit, the client can develop strategies in advance for managing heightened distress in crisis situations, including turning to support networks and self-soothing. The kit includes a two page form and a wallet card version for keeping on-the-go.
