Burnout Check-in
A one-page self-assessment for people in helping roles
If you're in a helping role—whether you're supporting students, clients, patients, or communities
You know what it feels like to carry more than just tasks. You carry stories. You hold space. You show up even when you're running low.
And sometimes, in the middle of all that showing up, it's hard to notice how you're actually doing.
This check-in is designed to help you pause and notice: Where are you right now? What's pulling hardest on your energy? And what might you need next?
It's not a diagnosis. It's not a test you can pass or fail. It's a gentle tool to help you get honest with yourself about how you're really doing - and to take one small, meaningful step forward.

Burnout doesn't announce itself all at once.
It builds slowly - in the mornings you dread, the moments you feel numb instead of present, the evenings you collapse without knowing exactly why you're so tired. This check-in gives you a way to name what you're experiencing before it becomes unmanageable.
You can use it on your own as a regular practice, bring it to supervision or coaching conversations, or share it with colleagues who might also be feeling stretched. It works whether you're in crisis or just starting to feel the strain. The reflection prompts help you identify patterns you might not have noticed, and the next-step planning keeps it grounded in what's actually possible - not what "should" be possible.
