Why Use a Mental Health Check-In Tool?

Many people don’t just struggle to access mental health care, they struggle to recognize when they need it in the first place. More often than not, we wait until the storm is already upon us before reaching out for support. We get so caught up in our daily routines and taking care of others that we don’t take the time to check-in with ourselves.  


A Mental Health Check-In Tool is a gentle, proactive way of reflecting inward. By pausing every few months, quarterly or even twice a year, you give yourself space to discover what your mind, body and spirit may already be whispering.


With a simple check-in, you can: 

  • Notice early signs of stress or fatigue before they grow into overwhelm
  •  Honour your mental and emotional well-being as part of your regular self-care, just like tending to your physical health 
  • Build a practice of self-awareness that is empowering, not labelling.


This isn’t about diagnosis — it’s about tending to your inner landscape with care. The preliminary shift is subtle but powerful, giving you the tools to respond with intention instead of reacting in crisis. 


The result? Greater ease, resilience and readiness to reach for support at the moments it can make the most significant difference.  

Please utilize this online tool used worldwide to help get you started on checking in with yourself
