### Crisis Hotline Counselor Wellness Check Form Template

Crisis hotline counselors provide life-saving support to individuals in their darkest moments—but who supports the supporters? This **Crisis Hotline Counselor Wellness Check** template is designed specifically for crisis intervention organizations, mental health hotlines, and support service teams to monitor counselor wellbeing, identify early warning signs of burnout and vicarious trauma, and ensure your team has the resources they need to continue their vital work.

#### Why wellness checks matter for crisis counselors

Crisis work is emotionally intensive. Counselors regularly encounter traumatic stories, high-stakes situations, and emotionally charged calls that can take a toll on mental health over time. Research shows that regular wellness checks can:

 - **Identify vicarious trauma early** before it escalates into compassion fatigue or burnout
 - **Support boundary maintenance** between professional and personal life
 - **Ensure adequate supervision** and clinical support structures are in place
 - **Reduce staff turnover** by addressing concerns proactively
 - **Maintain service quality** by keeping counselors mentally and emotionally healthy

This template provides a safe, confidential space for counselors to honestly assess their current state, flag concerns, and request additional support when needed.

#### What's included in this wellness check

The form covers five critical dimensions of counselor wellness:

**1. Call Volume and Workload Stress**
Tracks current call volumes, shift patterns, and whether counselors feel the workload is manageable. High call volumes without adequate breaks can lead to decision fatigue and emotional exhaustion.

**2. Vicarious Trauma Screening**
Uses evidence-informed questions to assess symptoms of vicarious trauma—the emotional residue from exposure to others' traumatic experiences. Early detection allows for targeted intervention before symptoms worsen.

**3. Boundary Maintenance Assessment**
Evaluates whether counselors can maintain healthy boundaries between their crisis work and personal life. Difficulty "switching off" or taking work stress home are red flags for burnout risk.

**4. Clinical Supervision Frequency**
Measures whether counselors receive adequate supervision, debriefing, and professional development opportunities. Regular supervision is protective against burnout and supports skill development.

**5. Support Needs and Resource Requests**
Provides space for counselors to identify what additional support they need—whether that's more supervision, peer support, reduced hours, or access to their own counseling services.

#### Perfect for mental health and crisis organizations

This wellness check template is ideal for:

 - **Crisis hotline organizations** supporting suicide prevention, domestic violence, sexual assault, or general mental health crises
 - **Mental health organizations** with frontline counseling teams
 - **Employee assistance programs (EAPs)** managing crisis response teams
 - **Healthcare organizations** with psychiatric or crisis response units
 - **Nonprofit organizations** operating support hotlines or crisis intervention services
 - **University counseling centers** with crisis response protocols

**Add layers of support:**
For organizations requiring documented consent for supervision sessions or additional support services, you can connect submissions to **Papersign (papersign.com)** to generate and send service agreements or updated supervision contracts based on identified needs.

#### Confidentiality and trust

Wellness checks are only effective when counselors trust the process. This template is designed with confidentiality in mind—you can configure submission privacy settings, limit access to wellness data to appropriate personnel, and communicate clearly how the information will be used to support (not surveil) your team.

Paperform is **SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliant**, ensuring that sensitive wellness data is stored securely. You can also control data residency settings to meet specific compliance requirements in your jurisdiction.

#### A vital tool for sustainable crisis services

Crisis counselors save lives—but they can only continue this essential work if their own wellbeing is prioritized. Regular wellness checks demonstrate organizational commitment to staff mental health, create early warning systems for burnout, and ensure that support flows in both directions.

Whether you're a clinical supervisor, program director, or HR leader in the crisis intervention space, this template gives you a professional, evidence-informed foundation for ongoing wellness monitoring. Customize questions to reflect your organization's supervision model, add your branding, and deploy it as a monthly or quarterly check-in to keep your team healthy, supported, and effective.
