More About the Screening

The free screening can help you determine if you might be suffering from depression or alcohol problems. Of course, only your doctor can give you a full diagnosis after a full evaluation, but the screening can reveal whether you suffer from symptoms consistent with those problems.

Referral

If the screening result indicates that you could be suffering from depression or alcohol problems, you will be given a number to call for a free, confidential consultation with an Employee Assistance Program counselor.

Anonymous

The screening is completely anonymous because no personal identification is requested.

Always free and available

The screening is completely free and available every day, 24 hours a day.
