In recognition of National Depression Screening Day, the Counseling Office will once again be partnering with the Mental Health Association of Essex County to conduct depression screenings, “Mood Check-ups.” This event will occur on Wednesday, October 7 from 11:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M. in the upper lounge of the Student Center Dining Hall. Trained screeners will meet confidentially with participants and assist them in indentifying symptoms that might be indicative of depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress. Following the interview, participants will be able to obtain educational literature from the tables, including referral information, as well as pick out an attractive mood ring. This event is open to all staff, faculty, and students, as well as to the local community.
