Documentation / FAQ
Before you continue
Is this a diagnosis?
No. It is an educational self-reflection tool and does not evaluate or diagnose a mental health condition.
Can resilience change?
Yes. Responses can shift through experience, supportive relationships, rest, practical skills and professional care when appropriate.
What if I feel overwhelmed?
Pause the quiz. If distress feels urgent or safety is at risk, contact local emergency services or an appropriate crisis resource in Canada.
