    Mental Health Resource and Survey

    Complete the anonymous screening via MindWise.

    If you are experiencing feelings like prolonged sadness, anxiety, irritability, loss of pleasure, hopelessness or another mental health concern, we encourage you to take a quick, anonymous screening.

    Screenings for depression, generalized anxiety disorder, alcohol misuse, eating disorders, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder are available. You will receive immediate results at the end of each screening. You can print these results and bring them to a mental health therapist for further discussion and evaluation, if indicated. Please note that these screenings are not intended to be a clinical diagnosis, but they may be helpful to your therapist.

    RCTC has resources to help! When you see your results, scroll down to the Resources page for more information.

    You can take the screenings online at https://screening.hfihub.com/RCTC.
