Breaking Down Barriers to Mental Health Support
Mental Health Screening was founded on a simple but powerful belief: everyone deserves access to reliable mental health information and resources, regardless of their circumstances, location, or financial situation.
Our Mission
We provide free, confidential, and evidence-based mental health screening tools that help individuals better understand their mental health and connect with appropriate resources. Our mission is to reduce stigma, increase awareness, and make the first step toward mental wellness as accessible as possible.
Why We Exist
Mental health challenges affect millions of people worldwide, yet many barriers prevent individuals from seeking help:
- Stigma and shame surrounding mental health issues
- Limited access to mental health professionals
- Financial constraints that make care unaffordable
- Lack of awareness about mental health conditions
- Uncertainty about whether symptoms warrant professional help
We created Mental Health Screening to address these barriers by offering a judgment-free, private space where anyone can begin to understand their mental health.
What We Offer
Free Screening Tools
Our validated screening questionnaires cover a range of mental health concerns, including:
- Depression
- Anxiety disorders
- Bipolar disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Eating disorders
- Substance use concerns
- And more
Evidence-Based Assessments
All our screening tools are based on clinically validated instruments used by mental health professionals. While our screenings are not diagnostic tools, they provide meaningful insights that can help you decide whether to seek professional evaluation.
Personalized Resources
After completing a screening, you’ll receive:
- Clear, easy-to-understand results
- Educational information about your concerns
- Curated resources and next steps
- Information about treatment options
- Crisis support resources when needed
Complete Privacy
Your privacy is paramount. Our screenings are:
- Completely anonymous (unless you choose to create an account)
