Beyond Now – Suicide Safety Planning

Beyond Now is a suicide safety planning app and website which aims to provide a platform for people to develop their own personalised safety plan.

Beyond Now allows the user to develop a list of warning signs, coping strategies, reasons for living and ways to make their environment safe via either free-text entry, or by selecting from a range of suggestions. In addition, Beyond Now has in built Australian crisis phone numbers and sections for social support and professional contacts, all of which can be dialled from within the app. The app also includes a “sharing” function in which a copy of the safety plan can be shared via email with important support people.

Beyond Now is for anyone who has experienced suicidal thoughts or feelings and is completely free. There is also information about Beyond Now available for health professionals and the family and friends of the user.

Beyond Now is free to download from the Apple Store or Google Play, or can be used online.

Anyone living in Australia can access this service.

There are no fees associated with this service.
