Which item is not typically included in a safety plan for suicide risk?

• A. Identifying warning signs.
• B. Coping strategies.
• C. Collecting information about unrelated hobbies.
• D. Contacts and emergency resources.

Answer: (C)

Safety plans for suicide risk focus on turning crisis into actionable steps you can take in the moment: recognizing warning signs, applying coping strategies, and knowing who to contact or where to get help. Collecting information about unrelated hobbies doesn’t contribute to those immediate safety actions and can distract from what you’re supposed to do when distress escalates. The warning signs help you notice when support is needed, coping strategies provide quick, practical ways to reduce distress, and contacts or emergency resources connect you with help when you need it most. While hobbies can support long-term well-being, they belong in broader wellness planning rather than in the core safety steps.
