The Mental Health Self-Assessment Program
Military service members and their families can take a free mental health self-assessment. It helps you think about your symptoms and connects you with military and veteran's treatment resources. A self-assessment is a first step toward supporting one another and a huge leap to ensuring your own personal health.
Military
life, especially deployments or mobilizations, can present challenges
to service members and their families that are both unique and
difficult. Some are manageable, some are not. Many times we can
successfully deal with them on our own. In some instances matters get
worse and one problem can trigger other more serious issues. At such
times it is wise to check things out and see what is really happening.
That’s the purpose of these totally anonymous and voluntary
self-assessments.
Questions are designed so you can review your situation
with regard to some of the more common mental health issues. The
screening will not provide a diagnosis – for that you need to see a
professional. But, it will tell you whether or not you have symptoms
that are consistent with a condition or concern that would benefit from
further evaluation or treatment. It will also give you guidance as to
where you might seek assistance.
