<p class=MsoPlainText>Hello Everyone!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Tomorrow is National Depression Screening Day (October 7<sup>th</sup>).
Please take a free screening yourself and encourage your family and friends to
do the same. The online screening tools will not diagnose but will “red
flag” symptoms and recommend further evaluation with a counselor or other
mental health professional of your choice.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Free, Anonymous Online Screenings are available at <a
href="http://www.HelpYourselfHelpOthers.org">www.HelpYourselfHelpOthers.org</a>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Screening for Mental Health, Inc. (SMH) is dedicated to
promoting the improvement of mental health by providing the public with
education, screening, and treatment resources. SMH pioneered the concept of
large-scale mental health screening and education programs in 1991, with its
flagship program, National Depression Screening Day (NDSD). SMH
programs—provided both in-person and online—educate, raise
awareness, and screen individuals for depression, bipolar disorder, generalized
anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, alcohol use
disorders, and suicide.<o:p></o:p></p>
