Emergency Plan & Crisis Skills
A scientifically backed, customizable Joint Crisis Plan that provides safety and action orientation during acute stress situations.
How does it work?
Users can save early warning signs, triggers, and proven coping strategies. Trusted contacts and emergency numbers can be linked directly, reflecting principles from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
„A patient feels incoming panic. A glance at the app reminds her of her breathing exercise and allows her to call her trusted contact immediately.“
Scientific Background
During acute crises, the prefrontal cortex is often overwhelmed, blocking cognitive access to coping strategies. A predefined, accessible plan acts as an external cognitive scaffolding.
Therapeutic Benefit
Studies show that Joint Crisis Plans (JCPs) can reduce involuntary hospital admissions by up to 25%. The app ensures the plan is always at hand in daily life.
