Is it time to call someone like me?
This is not a clinical instrument and it is not a quiz. It is a list of questions families ask themselves at the kitchen table, organized so you can think through them together. Mark what's true. Notice what you've been working hard not to notice.

Questions families ask about this tool
Is the result of this assessment a diagnosis?
No. This assessment is designed to help you organize your observations and better understand what may be happening. It is not a diagnostic tool and it does not replace an evaluation by a licensed medical or mental health professional.
Many families tell us that simply seeing everything in one place helps them recognize patterns they hadn't fully appreciated before. Our hope is that this assessment provides greater clarity and helps you decide what questions to ask next.
Will my answers be sent to you?
No. Your responses remain private and are not submitted to us or stored by our website.
If you choose to contact us after completing the assessment, that decision is entirely yours. We designed this tool to be a resource for families, whether you're ready to reach out today or simply gathering information.
How do I know when it's time to ask for professional guidance?
Many families wait until a situation has become far more difficult than it needed to be before reaching out. You do not need to be certain that your loved one has an addiction, eating disorder, or mental health condition to have a conversation with us.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, noticing concerning changes, or simply wondering what your options are, that's often reason enough to schedule a consultation. Sometimes families need an intervention. Sometimes they need family systems coaching, treatment guidance, or simply help understanding what they're seeing. An early conversation gives us the greatest opportunity to explore the options together.
What if my loved one refuses to acknowledge there's a problem?
This is one of the most common situations families face. Whether someone is struggling with addiction, an eating disorder, or a mental health condition, denial, fear, shame, or a lack of insight can make it difficult for them to recognize the need for help.
Fortunately, your loved one does not have to be ready before your family can begin making meaningful changes. Through family systems coaching, education, and thoughtful planning, families often discover that changing how they respond can create new opportunities for progress, even when their loved one is not yet willing to seek help.
When you're ready, we are here.
There is no right answer above. Most families who call us have checked some boxes and not others, and most of them already know what they need. We are here to help you take the first step.
