Life Stress Check

A checklist of big life changes, from moving home to losing someone, based on a research scale. Adding up your past year can show how much change you’ve been adjusting to, which might help if you feel worn out and can’t say why. Select the events you’ve been through in the last 12 months. Your answers stay on this device.

Educational, not diagnostic
This tool is for education and self-reflection. It does not diagnose any medical or mental health condition, and it does not replace professional care. If you are concerned about your health or wellbeing, consider speaking with a qualified healthcare professional.

Which events have you experienced in the last 12 months?

Where to next?

If you feel at risk of harming yourself or someone else, or if you feel unable to stay safe, contact emergency services or a local crisis line immediately.

In an immediate emergency — if you or someone else is in danger — call your local emergency number now (112 in the EU, 911 in the US, 999 in the UK).
