We know that adults of all ages face stresses and hard spots in their lives. With that in mind, Adult Wellness Circles have been created to give them a safe place to talk honestly about their lives, see that all areas of their lives are interconnected, and to empower them to make healthier choices for themselves.
The Adult Self Assessment consists of eighty statements, ten for each of the eight different areas of wellness: care for the body, spirituality, relationships, stress resilience, organization, rest and play, work/school, and handling emotions.
The intent is to help adults observe where things stand for them now, and help them determine if there is an area of wellness to which they would like to pay more attention. We also offer digital versions our self assessment tools.
