Welcome to the launch of the Looking Forward website. We want to know what you think! What works, what doesn’t work, and how we can improve it.
Self-Scan Questionnaire*
Come back and create a new roadmap as many times as you like—your needs and priorities may change as you move through recovery.
Your responses to the questionnaire and your roadmap information will be saved in your browser. You can answer part of the questionnaire one day and come back to complete it at another time—the information will still be there and you won't have to start again. None of your responses or roadmap information will be saved on the server. You can remove the information from your browser at any time by clearing the hosted app data.
