Crisis "Hotspots" Checklist
Check "Yes" or "No" for each area of your life and then rate the level of the problem on a scale from one (not a problem) to ten (very much a problem) for any YES answers:
1. Relations
Yes  No     
2. Finances
Yes  No     
3. Parenting
Yes  No     
4. Job
Yes  No     
5. Housing
Yes  No     
6. Psychological or Emotional State
Yes  No     
7. Family Relations
Yes  No     
8. Addictions
Yes  No     
9. Health Problems
Yes  No     
10. Legal Problems
Yes  No     
SCORING: Count the number of YES answers and then rank them from highest (most problematic) to lowest (least problematic) score.

Print this checklist if you need your answers for reference. Your entries will be cleared once you leave this page.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Your long-term goal is to stabilize as many of your problem areas as you can, but you should start with the three highest-ranking problems on the checklist, or those you believe cause the greatest instability in your life. Focus on each one of these three key problem areas and try to determine how you might stabilize each over the long term. It may take some time and thought to come up with truly valuable ideas but, unless you start this process, you are likely to delay your recovery and continue to operate in "crisis mode."
