Question 

A “hot sheet” is a term used in certain professions to signify a list of new or important items. For example, a police department may issue a hot sheet of stolen vehicles for officers to be aware of. A realtor may prepare a hot sheet of recent house listings for clients. The benefit of such a resource is that it is concise and is therefore easily digested and consulted.

Mental Health Crisis Response Hot Sheet

For this Assignment, you develop your hot sheet of valuable information for mental health crisis response and self-care, based on what you have learned in this course. You will also place the hot sheet in your Professional Portfolio.
Recall the mental health resources you researched in your community in Week 1.
Consider additional resources, services, and supports that you could use with individuals in crisis in future practice. These could include community mental health agencies in your area, national hotline numbers, Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meeting places, etc.
Review crisis response approaches and any other important information you learned in this course, which would be useful to have at your fingertips.
Create a 1-page “hot sheet” of resources, approach(es), and important notes to take with you for use in mental health crisis response. Also, list three or four self-care activities you will use to destress and rejuvenate after responding to crisis situations. This sheet should be small enough to carry in your wallet, purse, or digitally on your phone.
