Tool guide
Learn more about this tool
Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
What It Captures
The tool captures client-specific triggers, linked coping responses, relevant context when provided, and practitioner review notes kept separate.
Limits
The tool does not score trigger severity, rank clinical risk, recommend which coping response is best, or generate coping strategies on its own.
Can one trigger have more than one coping response?
Yes. The plan supports one or more coping responses for each trigger when multiple realistic options are useful.
What happens if a trigger has no coping response yet?
The trigger is saved as incomplete and remains visible as a follow-up need during review.
Does the tool recommend coping strategies?
No. Coping responses are entered by the client, practitioner, or collaboratively; the system does not generate unsupported coping prescriptions.
Is demo trigger content saved to my account?
No. Saving stores the tool itself, while fictional demo triggers and responses are not saved as client data.
