A joint crisis plan enables the person and services to learn from experience and make plans about what to do in the event of another crisis. It is developed by seeking agreement between the person who may lack mental capacity now or in future and their mental health team about what to do if they become unwell in the future. When the person lacks capacity to make decisions regarding their care and treatment and is unlikely to gain or regain capacity, a joint crisis plan about what to do in the event of a future crisis may be developed through a best interests decision-making process. A joint crisis plan does not have the same legal status as an advance decision to refuse treatment.
