1. Take the mental health assessment
2. Save/Print your results as a .PDF

Being aware of your mental health is just as important as knowing your physical health numbers such as blood pressure and cholesterol. Mental health issues do not discriminate - affecting people of all ages, backgrounds, and socioeconomic groups. Screenings are not a professional diagnosis, but are often the first step in getting help.

Other Options

• Learn to Live: Enter the code “CENTURY” and complete the assessment to find out which issues might be affecting you. Then choose the program to fit your needs such as Insomnia Program or the Stress, Anxiety and Worry Program which uses the highly effective tools of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Make an account and start the program, available 24/7, save to come back and continue anytime. Free for Century students.
• ULifeline: Click on “Self Evaluator,” pick a screener, and complete the assessment. Save the results to discuss with your counselor.
