This test is a helpful tool to raise awareness of our own, or our child’s stress levels and how they might affect our or our’s child health.

Taking our stress levels into account when making small and big decisions about changes will help us reflect on when would be the most helpful time to make any changes as they will often bring extra stress.

The sum of the life change units of the applicable events in the past year of an individual’s life gives a rough estimate of how stress affects health.
