Stress assessment where people already are
We bring clinically informed stress assessment to hairdressers, barbers, community centres, and GP waiting rooms. Free, confidential, and stigma-free.
THE INSIGHT
The people who most need help are the least likely to seek it
They won't book a GP appointment to talk about feeling stressed. They won't search for an online assessment tool. They won't walk into a counselling service.
But they will sit in a hairdresser's chair for 45 minutes with nothing to do.
A Community Wellness Station transforms that idle time into a wellbeing opportunity. It places a clinically informed stress assessment directly into the spaces where people already spend time. No appointments. No referrals. No stigma. Just a tablet on a stand and a QR code, available whenever someone has a few minutes.

THE FRAMEWORK
The Stress Continuum
Thriving
Balanced emotions, steady energy, clear thinking. You feel in control, engaged, and optimistic about the future. Maintain balance with consistent mindfulness practice and healthy routines. Protect sleep, nurture relationships, and build stress resilience reserves.
Surviving
Managing stress but feeling stretched. Occasional fatigue, mild tension, but still coping with everyday demands. Early warning signs are appearing. Prioritise ruthlessly, set clear boundaries between work and rest, and schedule regular relaxation breaks as non-negotiable appointments.
Struggling
Persistent overwhelm, disrupted sleep, irritability. Stress is affecting your performance and relationships noticeably. Seek social support and try evidence-based techniques like deep breathing or progressive relaxation. Professional guidance can make a real difference.
Crisis
Feeling paralysed, numb, or completely overwhelmed. Daily functioning is significantly impaired. Immediate support is essential. Contact mental health professionals, resilience centres, or crisis helplines today. You don't have to navigate this alone.
Where people wait, wellbeing can happen
Our Wellness Stations work in any venue where people are stationary for 10 minutes or more in a calm environment.

Population-level stress data for commissioning decisions
Every individual assessment simultaneously contributes to an anonymised, aggregated population-level dataset. Local authorities and public health teams get real-time, granular, locality-level stress data that traditional surveys cannot match.
Unlike annual surveys with low response rates, our data is continuous, high-volume, and captured because people want their own results, not because they're being surveyed.
Real-time data
Continuous stress monitoring across your community, not annual snapshots.
Granular insights
Data by locality, venue, demographic. Identify stress hotspots before they become crisis.
Cost-effective
Population screening at a fraction of traditional survey costs.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Community Wellness FAQ
No. The basic assessment and report are always free. We believe everyone should have access to understanding their stress levels regardless of their financial situation.
Never. Venue owners receive a monthly anonymised summary, overall trends, not individual data. Individual results belong to the person who took the assessment.
Our platform has built-in safeguarding protocols. Anyone flagged in the Crisis zone receives immediate signposting to crisis services including Samaritans, NHS 111, and local mental health support. Our clinical team is alerted to review.
A compact, self-service assessment point. In its simplest form, it's a QR code poster on a wall, people scan with their own phone. For venues wanting a dedicated setup, it's a tablet on a branded stand with a privacy screen.
