Traffic Light Check-In

A quick, visual way to check in on how you're feeling - tap a colour, get a suggestion, and see the pattern over time.

  1. Step 1: Tap green, amber or red for how you're doing right now.
  2. Step 2: Read the suggestion. On amber or red, the things that help from your Emotional Regulation Plan show here too. On red, phone numbers to get help now are shown.
  3. Step 3: Add a note if you want to, then tap 'Save check-in'.
  4. Step 4: Fill in 'What each zone looks like for you' further down, so it's ready next time.
  5. Step 5: Scroll down to Patterns to see how the last week or month has gone, and History for every check-in.

What each zone looks like for you

Everyone shows warning signs differently - write down what each colour actually looks like so it's easier for you and the people around you to notice early.
