Personal Areas of Concern

The David Chapel Personal Areas of Concern Survey has two parts:  Well-Being Index and Services.   The Well-Being Index will identify any personal concerns or issues you may be experiencing or anticipate experiencing in the future. The Services portion of the survey asks you to identify the best way to handle any issues you have identified. Instructions for both sections are below. Instructions for Part I: Well Being Index Please read the survey questions and rate your current experience of well-being as, Thriving, Struggling or Suffering.  Use the following descriptions as a guide for how to answer each question.  For example, question #1 asks about your basic needs.  If you are having some difficulty providing for your basic needs (food, clothing, housing, etc.), you would select “struggling” or “suffering” depending on the severity of the issue. Thriving — well-being that is strong, consistent, and progressing. You have a positive view of your present life situation and a positive view of the next five years. You have few health problems, few sick days, less worry, stress, sadness, anger, and more happiness, enjoyment, interest, and respect. Struggling — well-being that is moderate or inconsistent. You have a moderate view of your present life situation or a moderate or negative view of your future. You are either struggling in the present, or expect to struggle in the future.  You experience daily stress and worry about money than the "thriving" respondents, and have significant health problems that resulted in sick days in the last year. Suffering — well-being that is at high risk. You have a have poor rating of your current life situation and a negative view of the next five years. You experience significant stress that contributes to physical pain, a lot of worry, sadness, and anger about your situation.
