MENTAL WELLBEING
Assessment
Psychological wellbeing assessment
This Mental Wellbeing assessment will give you a picture of the general state of your mental health.
Psychological wellbeing is not just the absence of mental illness. It is a general state of health associated with low levels of negative emotions (depression and anxiety), and high levels of positive emotions (happiness and humour).
Based on the work of HJ Dupuy
Social support assessment
This Mental Wellbeing assessment will help you understand the strength and sources of any social support you have to manage stress.
Social support includes physical help and emotional comfort you get from family, friends, co-workers and others. It is also one of the best defences we have against the negative effects of stress.
Based on: Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet, Dahlem & Farley, 1988)
Stressor assessment
This Mental Wellbeing assessment will help you identify and understand your major long- and short- term stressors so you can develop ways to lessen or cope with them.
The difference between a stressor and stress:
Stressor: A challenge or situation that places a physical or mental demand on you.
Stress: Your reaction to a stressor.
The longer the stressor affects you, the greater the risk to your health. Stressors can influence your mental wellbeing. Including leading to anxiety and depression, and can impact your physical health. The following 10 questions are about specific areas in your life.
