National Depression Screening Day

Come to National Depression Screening Day (NDSD) on Thursday, October 11th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is being held on the 2nd 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 talk to a
clinician in the mental health field to review their results and discuss any concerns they may have.  If necessary,
appropriate referrals can be made, and participants can also pick up information on depression and other mental health issues for themselves or for someone they may be concerned about.


Students can also attend the event on the
Stark campus at the Herbert W. Hoover Foundation Counseling Center located on
the lower level of the Campus Center during the hours of 12:00 p.m and 4:00 p.m.
