The Brain Injury Resource Center Wellness Inventory is a checklist of indicators of health, and well being. It was designed to to help you track, and measure indicators of your health and well-being. It also looks at your lifestyle and your style of problem solving. Briefly stated, it asks you to score your sense of your state of health, happiness, and prosperity.

Indicators of health and well being have to do with how healthy you feel, and how well you were able to meet your daily obligations. Other indicators have to do with how you handled any problems you might have encountered. Still others look at how you perceive yourself, and how you interact with others.

This Wellness Inventory can increase your self awareness and help you to identify patterns, or characteristics you might want to change. Designed for daily use it can help you track patterns, or behavior that might signal the presence of serious problems. Warning: A high number of "Hardly" or "None" answers on this inventory could indicate the presence of serious physical and or mental health conditions and should be immediately brought to the attention of a qualified physician, therapist or other appropriate professional.
