Crisis Response Planning focuses on understanding behavior, thoughts, feelings and health and environmental factors that predispose someone to suicide when faced with stressors. In the process of Crisis Response Planning, the individual provides a personal detailed narrative about how they got to their suicidal behavior in terms of risk factors, stressors, plans and preparations as well as the nature of their suicidal desire and ideation. Through collaboration, a written set of strategies is developed to be used as a reminder and tool for managing and surviving suicidal crises. This study evaluates the factors that improve Crisis Response Plan usage and its effectiveness.
