Riverland Community College

Mental Health Screening

Advocacy services have chosen a web site that will allow you to complete six confidential mental health screenings (areas listed below) by going to this website: http://helpyourselfhelpothers.org/

•     Alcohol
•     Eating Disorders
•     Depression
•     Bipolar Disorder
•     Anxiety Disorder
•     Post-traumatic stress disorder

At the end of each anonymous screening you will receive an immediate result that can be printed and taken to a clinician for further evaluation. A screening test is not a substitute for a complete evaluation but it can help you learn if your symptoms are consistent with depression, bipolar disorder, an anxiety disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder and how to access help.  If you have questions about the results of your screening, please contact one of the Riverland Advocates.

Depression
