Thursday, October 08, 2009 - Today Is National Depression Screening Day
Posted by: Health.mil Staff


Military installations worldwide are offering free, anonymous mental health screenings today to educate service members and their families on the symptoms of depression and the appropriate course of action to take. Individuals have the opportunity to complete a brief questionnaire, and speak with a health care professional regarding their situation. This effort is part of the Department of Defense-funded Military Pathways program, which offers service members, veterans, and their families the opportunity to take in-person, online and telephone self-assessments anonymously.

The confidential self-assessments, which are also available 24/7 online and over the phone, help individuals identify symptoms linked with mental health disorders, provide contact information for clinicians and resources and, most important, reinforce that facing personal struggles is a sign of courage. The online screenings and phone screenings are available at <www.MilitaryMentalHealth.org>

For more information on the program or to take a screening online, visit <www.MilitaryMentalHealth.org>
