The Crisis Recovery Support Plan (RSP)
What is it?
The Crisis Recovery Support Plan form and process has been developed across the Waterloo-Wellington-Dufferin crisis system to encourage recovery-focused crisis services that keep the person at the centre of individualized service planning. This form replaces the form previously called the Registered Individual Crisis Plan or RICP.
The revision process has been led by the Self Help Alliance together with the Public Relations and Training working group, a sub-committee of the Waterloo Wellington Dufferin Regional Crisis Committee. It was developed with a lot of input from consumers, service providers and families and has been piloted by key agencies which provide crisis services.
Purpose of the Crisis Recovery Support Plan
The purpose of this plan is to equip the individual as well as providers and supporters (whether they are formal or informal) with a mental health directive in the case of a crisis. This information would include the individual’s wants and needs and the direction that the individual deems most helpful for their recovery in time of crisis. It may also include information regarding the existence of important legal documents, and whom the individual would want notified in the crisis.
The Crisis Recovery Support Plan can be downloaded as a paper copy or a Microsoft Word format document.
