How’s your mood? Problems with anxiety and depression can make it hard to function and enjoy college. A recent survey (Healthy Minds, 2009) reported that 38 percent of U.Va. students thought they needed help for mental health problems in the past year. At U.Va.’s Student Health, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), nearly 2,000 students sought assistance last year.
Mental wellness screening is free, fast and anonymous. You will receive immediate feedback about the results. Feel free to bring a friend along. If you can’t attend on March 5, go online for anonymous online screenings and information about emotional well-being.
If you would like to speak with a mental health professional, call CAPS at 434-243-5150 and request a phone screening appointment. Additionally, if you are dealing with a mental health emergency after 5 p.m. or on weekends, either on your own or with someone you know, a CAPS clinician is available through the Student Health answering service at 434-972-7004.
