Participants can also speak with a clinician in the mental health field to review their results.
If necessary, appropriate referrals can be made, and participants also may find information on depression and other mental health issues for themselves or for someone about whom they may be concerned.
For those unable to attend an in-person screening, a also is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and provides individuals with feedback, referrals and resources upon completion.
