Self-Help Resources

Have you experienced symptoms of depression, but don't know if it warrants speaking to a counselor about? Not sure if your diet is starting to control you? Ever wonder just how much alcohol is too much? You can now be screened online for mental health issues such as depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and alcohol/drug problems.

The Jed Foundation offers an online screening that is free to UNG students and is strictly confidential. You will not be asked for any identifying information. When you are done, you will be given results and recommendations of what to do from there. If you experience problems with the screening or want to discuss your results, contact Student Counseling to set up a convenient time.
