Safety Check & Personalized Plan

Safety Consult Plan for Families on High Alert

If you’re constantly watching doors, locks, or safety in public, this session gives you support and practical solutions. You’ll complete a short intake questionnaire before we meet so I can understand your main concerns. During the consult we review what’s working, what’s risky, and what changes can create more safety and less stress right away. After the call you receive a written plan with clear action steps you can put in place immediately.

Includes:

• Intake questionnaire

• One hour virtual consult

• Personalized written summary with action steps
