Youth Mood Check – Four Directions
A gentle check-in for how your mind, heart, body, and spirit have been feeling lately. This is not a diagnosis – it’s a conversation starter.
Before we start
This tool helps you notice how heavy things feel. Your answers can help you, a helper, counsellor, Elder, or trusted adult see what kind of support might fit best right now.
- There are no right or wrong answers – just be honest with yourself.
- If the result feels heavy or you’re struggling, please talk with someone you trust (counsellor, Elder, doctor, Aunty, friend, or crisis line).
