Be Well: Body and Mind
The 21st annual National Depression Screening Day at ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï will be held on several ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State campus locations in October, and is open to all faculty, staff and students, as well as the larger community.
Campus screening days and locations are listed below:
- ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï at Stark: Thursday, Oct. 8, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Herbert W. Hoover Foundation Counseling Center
- ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï at Trumbull: Thursday, Oct. 8, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Enrollment Management and Student Services, Room 131
- ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï Campus: Friday, Oct. 9, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the second floor mezzanine of the ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï Student Center
For those unable to attend an in-person screening, also is available 24-hours per day throughout the year, and provides individuals with feedback, referrals and resources upon completion.
As part of the free in-person screening, participants have the opportunity to complete a questionnaire, which screens for depression, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, and to speak with a clinician in the mental health field to review their results. If necessary, appropriate referrals can be made, and participants may also find information on depression and other mental health issues for themselves or for someone about whom they may be concerned.
ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State’s National Depression Screening Day is coordinated by several units in the Division of Student Affairs, including Psychological Services, University Health Services and the Office of Health Promotion on the ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï Campus. National Depression Screening Day also is co-sponsored by Counseling Services at ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State Stark, Counseling and Wellness Services on the Columbiana County Campuses and Counseling Services at ÌìÌì³Ô¹Ï State Trumbull.
