Complete a Comprehensive Mental Health Screening

Your mental well-being matters. This short, confidential questionnaire helps identify signs of common mental health concerns. It’s not a diagnosis, but it can be a step in understanding how you’re feeling and deciding if additional support could help. Honest answers ensure you receive the best resources and guidance possible.

The screening begins by asking questions about who you are and whether you have been treated for various mental health conditions. Then it asks about the following topics:

Anxiety and Depression
Suicidal thoughts
Trauma and PTSD
Substance Use
Eating disorders

After the screening, you'll be offered a listing of resources that could help - including supportive options right here on campus and in our local community.
