WHY CHECK YOUR MOOD?

Awareness creates choice.

The Mood Map is being developed to help young people pause, name what they are experiencing and identify what support or strategy may help. It complements JCF mentoring and workshops; it is not a diagnostic tool, medical treatment or crisis service.

THE ORIGINAL JCF MOODMAP™

How are you feeling?

Find the words that feel closest to you. Move from left to right for pleasantness and from low to high for energy. There is no wrong place to begin—this is a simple way to notice and talk about how you feel.
