Self-Assessment:
Satisfaction with Life (SWLS)
This is an easy initial screening tool to check for symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. Like all screening self-tests, this is an educational tool designed to help you think about and reflect on your mental health and wellbeing. It is not a scientific or medical test, and is not designed to provide a diagnosis of any kind. Your answers will not be recorded.
If you are concerned about any aspect of your mental health, we encourage you to talk with your doctor or a qualified healthcare professional. Members of BC Building Trades and the Construction Labour Relations Association of BC can call BuildStrong at 1.888.521.8611 to learn more about clinical support and treatment options.
