Wellbeing Assessment for Adult Learners (WAAL) is based on Positive Psychology principles and developed as a self-assessment tool for adult learners within the context of the learning environment. It includes 10 questions that reflect key wellbeing domains such as resilience, meaning, self-efficacy, relationships, and positive emotion. Wellbeing Assessment for Adult Learners (WAAL) is not a diagnostic tool, rather it allows the student to self-assess their own wellbeing. If it is indicated in this self-assessment that a student needs student support in wellbeing, they can seek out their trainer, or student support worker to begin the process of support co-ordination.

Opengate Institute are specialists in areas of psychotherapy and personal growth. The head trainer/psychotherapist Fiona Werle developed the WAAL as she saw a need in the VET industry to support both students and facilitators to gain knowledge of student needs and early interventions.
