A contingency plan can help get you rapid and constructive help when needed AND can reduce the potential negative impact on friends and family. In your plan, consider the following:
- Establish a trusted friend to inform if things go badly and help navigate your plan
- Have a designated support mechanism or treatment facility on speed dial
- Have an away bag packed and ready
- Establish a financial emergency fund
- Pre-define available and willing support for elders, children, and pets
- With the help of your trusted friend(s), inform your predetermined call tree of work colleagues, family members, and friends
