Bearings
A calm, practical card for the people in your household — keep one in a wallet or by the phone.

How to use: print on plain or card stock, then cut along the thin guides to make a credit-card-sized card. The front and back are stacked below — fold along the cut line, or print double-sided, so the two sides meet. This card is signpost only: it points you to the official services. Bearings doesn’t handle emergencies, monitor, investigate, or intervene.
