Monarch guides

Written here rather than borrowed. A guide is for a decision families find genuinely difficult, where the hard part is not information but knowing which questions to ask and in what order.

These are not validated clinical instruments and we do not present them as such. They are structured ways of thinking something through, and they run in your browser. Your answers are not sent to us; if you're signed in, your result is saved to your account.

A quick note before you start.

Every tool here is a screening instrument, not a diagnosis. Your answers stay on this device. So does your result, unless you are signed in to a free account: then it is saved to your account automatically, and you can remove it. If anything you see concerns you, please talk it through with your family physician or with us.

More are being written. If there is a decision you wish someone had walked you through, tell us and it goes on the list.
