Sometimes those pressures can negatively affect our happiness, our relationships with others, our school performance, and even our feelings and beliefs about ourselves. Whatever you’re struggling with – family pressures, school workload, relationship issues, grief, stress or financial concerns – it is easy to get overwhelmed without an idea of where to turn for support. The Interactive Screening Program is a safe and secure online tool that connects you to a counselor to learn more about how you can get support for mental health concerns. It’s as simple as...Click, connect and chat! If you are a student, please watch out for our email survey invitation! You can also access the questionnaire from our website or the above link.
