Pre-Assessment

No matter where you are right now in your outlook on life, it helps you and us to know two things:

1) If you need additional support at this time.

2) If this online course has any impact on helping you feel more hopeful.

Take the Beck's Hopelessness Inventory Below

The Beck's Hopelessness Inventory is a self-report inventory designed to measure levels of hopelessness. Please answer each question by answering true or false based on how you have been feeling in the past weeks, including today. If you have any questions, the instructor will also walk you through this assessment in the video below. When you have answered every question click on the Submit button.

Worldview Analysis

A worldview is just a framework we use to view the world. This worldview analysis is only a tool. It will help you clarify how you currently approach religion and spirituality.
