The Building a Support Network was developed for people who need a focused way to helps a person identify different kinds of support instead of expecting one contact to meet every need. Instead of asking users to remember scattered details, it organizes emotional support, practical help, clinical contacts, crisis options, community connections, boundaries, preferences, and backup plans.
Its prompts are designed for use between appointments, during care transitions, or when preparing a concise update for a healthcare professional. The format keeps attention on observable information and provider-directed next steps rather than diagnosis or self-prescribing.
This mental wellness resource should be used with individualized clinical instructions. Urgent or rapidly worsening symptoms require appropriate medical evaluation. It is designed to complement—not replace—clinical care.
