MHWFA Safety & Support Plans
Safety / Support Plans may be used to proactively support clients to be more aware of their own experiences, triggers, coping strategies, self-care practices, physical safety measures, and social and professional supports. They are also great resources for guides and supervisors to feel aware and prepared to provide effective support in the field.

Pre-Field Mental Health Intake Questions
Description & Download
The pre-trip medical form is an excellent opportunity to exchange information about mental health with your clients. This is a two-way exchange: while a client is disclosing information about their mental health experiences, the course provider is communicating that they are oriented to mental health issues, and is setting the stage for future genuine connection and conversations.
