Stress and Load Check-In
Notice current demands, energy, sleep, body signals, motivation, support, and signs that more help may be needed.
Clinician-created · specialist review requiredFor clinician-facilitated use
This is a professional resource, not a child-facing online service. A licensed clinician or other qualified adult must determine suitability, explain and adapt the activity, and supervise its use. Do not direct a child to access this webpage independently or enter client information.
The full-resolution WebP includes print-safe margins and should be downloaded by an adult professional. Read the guidance below before using the page.
How to use it
- Mark the demands using the most energy right now, including school, work, care, social, or personal demands.
- Notice current energy, sleep, body signals, motivation, and available support without grading yourself.
- Choose one demand to reduce, one support to request, or one small recovery need to protect.
- Tell a trusted adult or professional if warning signs, safety concerns, or basic needs need more support.
Reflection prompts
- Which demands come from circumstances rather than personal choices?
- What is one barrier that others could help change?
- What signs would mean it is time to seek more support?
Facilitator guidance
Use as a conversation aid, not a diagnostic, burnout, depression, or risk assessment. Follow appropriate safeguarding and clinical evaluation processes when warning signs, functional decline, or safety concerns emerge.
Adaptations & accessibility
- Use icons, colors, or an energy budget instead of written ratings.
- Complete verbally with a trusted adult or communication support.
- Separate controllable demands from systemic or environmental barriers.
Professional-use review
Enhanced licensed-clinician and safeguarding review required; this check-in does not replace assessment or the practice's local safety procedures.
