Taking a self-assessment is one thing. Knowing what to do with the results is another.
The DAS Follow-Up Worksheets are designed to bridge that gap — moving you from awareness to action in each of the three domains the DAS measures: Depression (low mood, flatness, disconnection from meaning), Anxiety (hypervigilance, catastrophising, a nervous system that won’t settle), and Stress (the gap between what is asked of you and what you have left to give).
Each worksheet follows the same structure: a short self-locating scale to surface the specific pattern in your teaching context, four targeted exercises that move from reflection to regulation to concrete commitment, and a 48-hour action step designed to ensure insight translates into practice rather than staying abstract.
They are also designed for use with your ELICOS students. Language anxiety, academic overload, and the invisible pressures students carry into your classroom — family obligations, visa conditions, cultural adjustment — are addressable with the same frameworks. Each worksheet includes a dedicated section on classroom adaptation, with suggested framing and exercises mapped to proficiency levels.
“The most costly blind spot is not ignorance of the world around you — it is ignorance of your own interior state.”
These worksheets are reflective practice instruments, not clinical interventions. They are a practical next step — for you, and for the people in your care.

If your results have raised questions about where to go from here, we work with educators and caregiving professionals individually and in retreat settings. A conversation costs nothing.
