Family Conflict & Home Stress Assessment
A detailed private Backing U self-assessment designed to help you reflect on young people's experience of tension, arguments, instability, communication problems and lack of support at home. It looks across frequent arguments or tension at home, feeling caught in conflict between other family members, not feeling heard or respected when I try to explain how I feel, home stress making it hard to relax, sleep or concentrate and feeling that I do not have enough safe support at home. The assessment contains 20 questions and is intended to give you a structured wellbeing snapshot, highlight the areas having the greatest effect, and provide practical recommendations for what to do next. It is not designed to diagnose a condition or replace an individual professional assessment.
The Family Conflict & Home Stress Assessment is a Backing U educational wellbeing and self-reflection tool. It is not a validated diagnostic instrument, does not provide a clinical diagnosis and does not replace individual assessment or advice from a qualified professional. For young people, results should be interpreted in context and discussed with a trusted adult or qualified professional when concerns are significant. Scores are influenced by how questions are understood and by the timeframe selected. If several items are marked N/A, the total may be lower and should be interpreted cautiously; individual responses may be more informative than the total score. If difficulties are severe, rapidly worsening, affecting basic functioning or creating safety concerns, seek appropriate professional or urgent support. External resources are provided for further reading and support only. They are operated by independent Australian or UK organisations and their inclusion does not imply endorsement of this Backing U tool.
