Prepare (8 steps). Use it before or after a crisis. If you are better prepared to a crisis, it will be easier to deal with it. There are many functions in 12 Steps that can help you to cope when a crisis comes. Here you will find: videos about the 12 Steps, breathing exercise, a Well-Being Index scale, supportive memories (Library), important contact information (Contact) and a possibility to take Notes. In a crisis, it is almost impossible to find a distraction, a supportive memory or to decide whom you can contact, so that is why it is very important to prepare all these things when you feel better or with a Helper, a family member, a friend, your health- or social care contact.
