Well-being is defined as the experience of health and happiness; having good mental health, a high level of both life and professional satisfaction, a sense of meaning or purpose, and the ability to manage stress. MaineHealth is committed to ensuring that all medical staff have easy access to tools and resources that support well-being.
Test Your Wellness
The Mayo Clinic has developed a well-being self-assessment tool called The Well-Being Index. This 100% anonymous assessment consists of nine questions and takes less than one minute to complete.
Simply answer the questions and you'll get individual feedback and scores that can be tracked over time. Your assessment report will show how your well-being level compares to your peers. Depending on your results, you may also receive personalized recommendations for local and national resources that can help you improve your well-being.
The Well-Being Index App
The Well-Being Index app makes it easy to routinely assess your wellness. Use your iOS or Android device to measure and track six key dimensions of distress and well-being. The app requires that you enter demographic information. This information is kept anonymous and collected only for national bench-marking purposes.
