General Mental Health Screening

Programs that offer simple, non-condition specific tests that people who are concerned about their emotional health in general can take to learn more about their symptoms and ways of coping with them. Participants generally have an opportunity to see a film and/or hear a talk about the causes, symptoms and treatment of different types of mental health problems; complete a screening questionnaire; and talk about the results with a mental health professional. People who test positively are encouraged to seek further evaluation and, potentially, treatment. Most general mental health screenings are confidential and available at no cost. Mental health screenings may also be available by telephone or online.
