Before you begin... Checklist 1: General Wellbeing
This brochure will ask you a series of questions about
your health and wellbeing. Based on your answers,
you will be given some feedback and advice.
Answer as honestly as you can for the most accurate
results. The results are a guide and meant to be used
as part of your decision making process. You are the
expert on your body and life: take whatever action
you feel is right for you.
These tests have been adapted from the open-source
Psycheck screening tool for mental health symptoms,
and the criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders 5th Edition (DSM-5) for
substance use disorders.
The tests & their results
The tests can give you feedback, but they cannot
provide a diagnosis. The results are a guide rather
than a set of instructions. If the results don’t feel right
to you, that’s okay. Take any action that meets your
needs.
If any questions in the checklist raise concerns about
your wellbeing, you can always reach out for help and
guidance. Take a look at the back of this brochure for
services that can provide support.
Think of
the checklists
as a guide rather
than instructions. If
you are worried, help is
available.
