Wellbeing apps and tools

Wellbeing self-assessment tools

Wellbeing self-assessment tools can be a helpful way to check if you are effectively managing your own physical and mental health and get advice on how to make improvements.

Below are links to self-assessment tools that will enable you to learn more about your health and your resilience. Each tool will provide you with tailored feedback along with guidance and recommendations. All of these tools are external and publicly available with their own privacy policies. The University of Exeter does not have access to any information that you enter into these tools.

• Get Your Mind Plan - Every Mind Matters - NHS
• It can be helpful to go through one of Mind’s ‘Wellness Action Plans’ (workplace, remote and hybrid) with your manager so you can both explore how they can support you more with your wellbeing. They also offer a managers support guide. 
• How Are You?: The quiz asks questions about your health behaviours (e.g. physical activity, diet, smoking) to let you know how you are going. It takes about 5-10 minutes to complete and provides links to useful resources, such as apps and web resources.
• How Resilient Are You?: This quiz helps you to assess how resilient you are and provides advice and guidance to become more resilient. It takes 5-10 minutes to complete.
• i-resilience: This can be used alongside the How Resilient Are You? if you would like to get a deeper understanding of your resilience and how you might respond to workplace pressures based on your resilience profile. It takes around 10-15 minutes to complete.
• To access free 'Headspace' short, guided meditations, breathing exercises and focus music, click on "..." at the bottom of your MS Teams' left-hand navigation bar then search for Viva Insights. This app also allows you to send praise, book focus time, reflect on how you're feeling and much more.
