Student Success Services FAQ Series #6: Online mental health screening

 

Q: A student in my class is wondering if she might be suffering from
depression, but she's reluctant to make an appointment with a counselor.
Are there any online resources I could suggest?

 

A: Counseling and Advising offers free online mental health screenings.
The screenings cover depression, anxiety, eating disorders, alcohol
use/abuse, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The
screenings are confidential and take just a few minutes to complete.
After answering the questions, students find out if their symptoms are
consistent with a disorder and receive referral information to set up an
appointment with a personal counselor at CPCC if they decide to seek
additional assistance. The screening is not meant as a diagnosis or
substitute for meeting with a mental health professional, but it is
based on solid research and testing. Students answering honestly should
get a clear picture of whether further professional consultation would
be beneficial.

 

The online screening is located here:

For additional information, contact Kirk Knott, counselor, at
704.330.6381.
