Danger to self

Self-endangerment can include behaviours such as wandering, self-harm or neglecting personal safety.

How to support someone becoming a danger to themselves

Conduct a thorough assessment of the individual’s environment to identify potential hazards. Implement safety measures, such as removing harmful objects or installing alarms. Provide supervision and support to prevent accidents or injuries. Address any underlying issues contributing to self-endangerment, such as anxiety or cognitive decline, through appropriate interventions and support services.
