Students are welcome to take a Free Mental Health Screening. Please note that screening results are not monitored and do not become part of your client chart in Counseling and Health Services. It is meant only for informational purposes and not for diagnostic purposes. Students are encouraged to follow up with Counseling Services if results suggest distress or that additional support is needed.
