So, although I think it is valuable, i also think that so many people don't want to help others that it becomes difficult to use.  |
Hi,
I do understand part of what your saying and I had the same thoughts.
The "Wellness Toolbox" is something the person creates and uses alone. No help
is needed. Your correct about the crisis plan---help from others is part of the plan. I have no family in the state i live in. I was very reluctant to reach out for help....pride...however I did find a few people (college alums) I could count on. I hope to never need my safety plan (I call mine a safety plan) but just in case, it's planned out.
I really encourage others to at least create the first few parts of WRAP---which do not require having a support system.
