In times of uncertainty it’s normal to feel some anxiety about the world around us. It’s important that we have a level of self-awareness about our response to these circumstances and how this may present in the way we behave.
This wellbeing checklist is a guide for you to identify your current responses and behaviours and how they could be affecting your mental health and wellbeing. Importantly, it will help you work out which areas you may need to focus on to look after yourself, and ideas for how to stay well, regain balance or seek support.

Use this wellbeing checklist to help you understand how you are feeling through your own observable behaviours. Which category do you think you are currently sitting in?

- Look after yourself using the 5 Ways to Wellbeing to create a routine that prioritises your own self-care.
REGAIN BALANCE
Focus on getting the balance right by increasing the protective factors around you and prioritising access to available supports.

Improving mental health and wellbeing in your workplace doesn’t need to be complicated.
