Do You Need an Intervention?

A Confidential Family Assessment

When you’re worried about someone you love, it’s hard to know when to step in. I built this assessment to help you notice the patterns I usually hear about when a family first calls me. It takes about five minutes. Your answers stay in your browser. I’ll only ask for your name and email at the end, so I can share your results with you.

Start the Assessment

Who It’s For

Is this the right step for you?

✓This assessment is for you if you’re…

A parent, spouse, or family member worried about someone you love
Trying to figure out if it’s time to say something
Looking for a clearer way to talk to your family about what you’re seeing

!Not the right step right now if…

Someone is in immediate danger
There is a medical or psychiatric emergency unfolding

In a crisis, call 911, or call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. The assessment can wait. Safety can’t.

The Assessment

18 questions, about five minutes

Your Results

Your score: 0 out of 54

Early Concern

What it means: This is often where families first start to notice something’s off. Many people see small changes long before things feel urgent.

Next step: Stay close, keep talking, and check back in with this assessment in a few months.

Emerging Pattern

What it means: A few warning signs showing up together usually means it’s worth having a direct conversation soon.

Next step: I’d suggest a confidential conversation with me about what you’re seeing and what your options are.

Significant Concern

What it means: This pattern usually tells me a family is dealing with more than they can manage alone.

Next step: Let’s talk. I can walk you through what an intervention looks like, including the Johnson Model and the Invitational Model.

Crisis Level

What it means: This level of pattern often means the situation has become urgent.

Next step: Reach out to me as soon as you can. If there’s any risk to safety right now, use the resources below first.

If Safety Is a Concern Right Now

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is available by call or text, 24 hours a day. The SAMHSA National Helpline offers free, confidential support at 1-800-662-4357.

If This Feels Familiar

You don’t need to have all the answers before reaching out. If any of this feels true for your family, I’m glad to talk it through with you. Costs and next steps come up naturally in that first conversation.
