# Checking in on your wellbeing

Record how you feel, choose whether someone should get in touch, and see what happens next.

If your community uses it, the **Wellbeing** section helps you notice when you might be doing too much. It also lets you ask for someone to get in touch when you are not feeling well.

1. Open Volunteering.
2. Press Wellbeing, in the Support & recognition card.
3. Press Log How I'm Feeling.
4. Choose a mood: Struggling, Low, Okay, Good or Great.
5. Add a note if you like.
6. Press Submit Check-in.

## Asking for someone to get in touch

If you choose **Struggling** or **Low** , you also see **Let someone get in touch with me** . It is ticked to start with. Untick it to keep the check-in to yourself. Nothing is shared unless the box is ticked.

When the box is ticked, these people are told, in this order:

- the wellbeing contacts your community has named, and any extra wellbeing email address it has set
- your community's safeguarding staff
- the organisations you volunteer with
- the staff of the community above yours, if your community is part of a larger network
- your community's contact address, if nobody else could be told

People are told at most once a day. If you check in again within a day, your new check-in is added to what they can already see, and nobody is told twice.

Your note is shared only when the box is ticked. Your community's staff can then read it on the alert page. Organisations are told how you feel, but never your note.

## After you check in

The page tells you what happened: how many people were told, that they were already told in the last day, or that nobody could be told yet. If nobody could be told, the **If you need support now** box is shown beside the message.

## What the page shows you

- A Wellbeing Score out of 100, once there is enough activity to work it out.
- How much you have volunteered this week and this month.
- Your recent check-ins, and whether each one was shared.
- Suggested rest days, and self-care tips.
- The If you need support now box, with your community's own advice and links.

If you are in danger or need help urgently, contact your local emergency services first. Do not wait for someone to get in touch.
