National Eating Disorder, Alcohol and Depression Screenings
Each year, hundreds of people participate in national awareness day
screenings for eating disorders, alcohol usage, depression and other mood
disorders. Unfortunately, these awareness days only occur three times
a year. As a USI student, you now have the opportunity to take one of
the awareness day screenings anytime you want to, which may help you decide
if this is the right time to meet with a counselor to discuss your situation
and get assistance. You may access the national awareness day
screenings by following this link:

students who may be experiencing difficulties of a psychological nature.
Feel free to browse the site below for information about these types of
difficulties, including depression and suicidal feelings. Depression and
thoughts of suicide can impact a person's life in many
different ways. Not everyone experiences depression and suicidal tendencies in
the same way. Some people may have behavioral changes, while others experience
physical changes.
If you are experiencing any type of difficulty of
a psychological nature, including addictions, this
website may be able to provide you with some useful information through their
online "behavioral self e-valuation" tool, as well as information on where to get assistance,
