Reflective assessment
Assess the Mental Health Literacy of Your Organization
A structured mirror for teams, institutions, and communities that want to understand whether they have the language, boundaries, and support pathways needed when distress appears.
What it reflects.
Not a fake quiz. A conversation starter.
This assessment does not grade your values, label your culture, or certify your organization as safe.
It helps you see where support may be too vague, too informal, too individual-dependent, or too unclear.
It works best when answered honestly, not aspirationally.
Use a 1–5 scale.
1 = Not yet true. 2 = Somewhat true. 3 = Mostly true. 4 = Strongly true. 5 = Clearly embedded in practice.

Turn the result into a plan.
The useful question is not only whether your organization cares. It is whether care has language, boundaries, and pathways.
