Many individuals with serious mental health conditions may encounter crises requiring careful planning. Developing a crisis plan beforehand is crucial as it lowers uncertainty and enhances cooperation between caregivers and family. This plan should be crafted when the individual is stable, allowing open communication about privacy, caregiver roles, and response actions during crises. Discussing these elements fosters trust and ensures that the loved one’s preferences are honored, leading to more effective support and interventions when needed.
