The Wheel of Well-Being 

Kids Help Phone’s Wheel of Well-Being can help you see the different parts of your life in full circle. You can print the  wheel to write your answers to the questions and take notes on what well-being means to you as you go. If you ever  need support in any of these areas, it’s important to reach out for help. You can always talk to a friend, Elder, teacher or  parent/caregiver for support.
