Emotional Safety Audit

Jonny’s Towing & Recovery Ltd.
Caring for People Beyond the Road
We meet people on tough days — breakdowns, crashes, long nights, and stressful calls. Over time, we’ve learned that feeling safe isn’t just about the road; it’s also about what’s going on inside. This page is a quiet space for you to check in with yourself.
Why this check-in exists

This short self-check is about your life as a whole — home, work, family, friendships, relationships, and community. It’s here as a free community resource: no account, no login, no “right” answers.

You can keep your results completely private, or choose to share them with someone you trust. If you’d like, you can also email them to our support inbox at wecare@jonnystowingbc.ca.

How to use this check-in
  • Take 3–5 minutes in as calm a moment as you can manage.
  • Answer based on the last few months, not just one really good or bad day.
  • Be as honest as you can — no one else has to see this.
  • When you’re done, you’ll see a snapshot of how emotionally safe your life feels in different areas.
  • You can keep it private, take a screenshot, or choose to email your results to us.
Privacy & safety

Your answers are not stored by this page. Everything stays in your browser unless you decide to email your results.

  • If you click “Email my results”, your device opens an email draft to wecare@jonnystowingbc.ca.
  • You can edit or delete anything in that draft before sending.
  • Our wecare inbox is for listening, encouragement, and pointing you toward support where we can.
  • It is not a 24/7 crisis or emergency service.
If you’re in crisis or feel unsafe

If you feel in immediate danger, or are thinking about hurting yourself or someone else, this page is not enough on its own.

  • Call your local emergency number.
  • Reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or neighbour.
  • Contact a local mental health crisis line or text line in your area.

You deserve real-time, human support if things are heavy or urgent.

4.5–5.0 Excellent – Emotional safety is strong in many areas of your life.
3.5–4.4 Good – A healthy base with some rough spots to notice.
2.5–3.4 Caution – Emotional safety may depend a lot on who you’re with or where you are.
1.0–2.4 Critical – You may be dealing with environments or relationships that are emotionally unsafe.
Making sense of your results

These scores are not a diagnosis. They’re just a snapshot of how emotionally safe life feels in this season.

  • Excellent (4.5–5.0) – You may have people, places, or routines that feel solid and safe. Life can still be hard, but your base is strong.
  • Good (3.5–4.4) – There’s a decent foundation, with some areas that feel shaky or inconsistent. Small changes could have a big impact.
  • Caution (2.5–3.4) – Emotional safety might depend heavily on where you are or who you’re with. Some situations may feel okay, others draining or unsafe.
  • Critical (1.0–2.4) – You may be carrying a lot in environments or relationships that don’t feel safe at all. Reaching out for support could be really important here.
Gentle next steps you might consider
  • Notice your lowest section. Is it trust, belonging, support, or leadership/power?
  • Name one specific situation that feels emotionally unsafe or draining right now.
  • Identify one safer person you could talk to — a friend, family member, coworker, neighbour, or professional.
  • Set one small boundary, like taking a break, saying “I need a minute,” or spending less time with someone who feels unsafe.
  • Consider talking to a professional (counsellor, therapist, doctor, etc.) if your scores are low and this has been going on for a while.
What happens if I email my results?
  • Someone from our team will read what you send and do their best to respond with care.
  • We can’t offer therapy, but we can listen and share supportive resources where possible.
  • We do not share your email or results outside of our small support team, unless required by law (for example, if someone is in immediate danger).
  • Response times may vary, so please use local crisis or emergency services if you need urgent help.
If someone shares their results with you
  • Thank them for trusting you with something personal.
  • Listen more than you talk. Try asking, “How can I support you right now?”
  • Avoid quick fixes like “Just be positive” — they often feel dismissive.
  • Encourage them to reach out to a professional if things seem heavy or long-lasting.
  • Remember you don’t have to have all the answers to be helpful. Being present is already a lot.
Accessibility & feedback

We want this page to be usable for as many people as possible.

  • You can navigate the questions using keyboard and mouse or touch.
  • If you use a screen reader or other assistive tech and find this tool hard to use, we’d genuinely like to know.
  • You can email accessibility feedback or suggestions to wecare@jonnystowingbc.ca.
A final word

If you’ve read this far, it already means you’re paying attention to your own wellbeing — and that matters. Needing support doesn’t make you weak or broken. It makes you human.

Whether you keep your results to yourself, share them with someone you trust, or email us at wecare@jonnystowingbc.ca, we’re glad you took this moment to check in with yourself.
