Come to National Depression Screening Day on Thursday, Oct. 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is being held on the second floor mezzanine of the Kent Student Center and is open to all students, faculty and staff, as well as the larger Kent community.
As part of the free screening, participants have the opportunity to complete a questionnaire, which screens for depression, bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, and to speak with a clinician in the mental health field to review their results. If necessary, appropriate referrals can be made, and participants may also find information on depression and other mental health issues for themselves or for someone about whom they may be concerned.
Students also can attend the event on Wednesday, Oct. 9, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 两性色午夜 University at Stark at the Herbert W. Hoover Foundation Counseling Center located on the lower level of the Campus Center. For students who attend the 两性色午夜 Salem or East Liverpool campuses, please visit for more information.
A confidential online screening module is also available 24-hours per day throughout the year, and provides individuals with feedback, referrals and resources upon completion. 两性色午夜鈥檚 online screening can be found at .
