General Mental Health Screenings
How to use these tools
These assessments are starting points — not diagnoses. We encourage you to take the assessment in a quiet, honest moment with yourself. Review your results without judgment — curiosity, not criticism. Bring your results to your next therapy or coaching session to explore further. Reach out to Awaken Wellness if your results raise concerns or questions. Again, results from self-screening tools are not a clinical diagnosis. They are not a substitute for a clinical diagnosis or professional evaluation. If you have concerns about your results, we encourage you to reach out to a licensed mental health professional.
If you are in crisis or need immediate support,
please call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room.
