Take the Beyond Blue Mental Health Check-In
Completing the check-in will help you understand what kind of support you might need right now. Beyond Blue are here to help you find that support.
You will be asked 10 questions about how you’ve been feeling over the past 4 weeks. Your answers will help:
- measure your level of distress
- help you find the support that’s right for you.
Your answers and your result are anonymous. You can decide what you want to do with your result. Beyond Blue will give you some recommendations to get you started.
The check-in is an evidence-based assessment known as the K10. It’s commonly used by Australian GPs (doctors) and mental health professionals to understand the level of support you may need.
