Early warning signs are considered to be one of the many tools utilized by specialist early intervention practitioners and other mental health professionals to assist young people how to recognize a deterioration in their mental state or if a relapse is indicated. This article focuses on the role that early warning signs recognition has played in a Child and Adolescent inpatient setting in the form of a journal that is used to record a young person's personal journey by recording early warning signs to prevent a future relapse. Feedback on the use of the journal has been positive from the young people who have utilized the journal and it has also been viewed as a useful and practical framework to identify key symptoms that may potentiate a relapse into illness.
