Relationship challenges rarely happen by themselves. Sometimes they cause other issues; sometimes they are caused by them. So context is essential.

The free, anonymous, secure Personal Challenges Survey below provides that context for your relationship challenges by screening for the most common personal challenges people face. It takes about 15 minutes to complete.

A starting point, not a diagnosis

This survey is an information tool to help guide you toward better emotional and relational health. It is not a professional diagnosis. If you’re ready for help, our team offers couples counseling and more.

The PCS as a research instrument

The Personal Challenges Survey is more than a screening tool — Restored Life Counseling is developing it into a validated research instrument so it can serve people and clinicians more effectively.

We are establishing a formal validation study under the oversight of an Institutional Review Board (IRB) — an independent committee that protects the rights and welfare of research participants. That study is currently pending IRB formation and approval; until it is approved, your responses are used only to generate your own results, not for research.

Once the study is approved, de-identified responses — carrying no name, email, or identifying information — may be used to validate and improve the instrument for broader clinical use. The survey is, and will remain, free, anonymous, and secure, and it is never a substitute for a professional diagnosis.

We believe measurement keeps care honest — including measuring whether our own tools actually help. You can read more in our article on measuring clinical outcomes.
