If you are in danger or thinking about harming yourself, do not wait on an assessment. In the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, any time, day or night. If someone's life is in immediate danger, call 911.
What these assessments are for
The assessments here are for reflection, discipleship, and leadership growth. They can help you see yourself more clearly and take a healthy next step. They are not counseling, therapy, or medical care, and they cannot respond in an emergency.
When an assessment is not the right tool
- You are in crisis, or thinking about harming yourself or someone else.
- You are in an unsafe situation, including abuse.
- You are carrying something heavy that needs a real conversation with a pastor, counselor, or doctor.
In those moments, the most faithful next step is to talk to a trusted person or a professional, not to fill out a form.
Abuse and safeguarding
If you or someone you know is being harmed or is at risk, please reach out to your local authorities and a trusted leader right away. Churches partnering with us are asked to follow their own safeguarding policies and applicable reporting laws. Youth assessments carry extra safeguards, including adult consent, limited access to named results, and shorter data retention.
Getting professional help
- Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (US): call or text 988.
- Emergency: call 911.
- A licensed counselor or physician for ongoing mental, emotional, or medical care.
- Your pastor or a trusted leader for prayer, encouragement, and a path forward.
How we handle sensitive results
Some assessments touch tender areas such as emotional health, marriage, or forgiveness. Those results stay private to you. They are never placed on a church dashboard, and you decide whether to share them with anyone. See our Privacy Policy for how sharing works.
