“This year’s event was our largest, by far, primarily due to the fact that we
took this opportunity to screen the majority of the Fort Benning Soldiers who
have recently returned from combat duty in Iraq. This was an excellent,
non-threatening way to determine how many of our soldiers may be experiencing
symptoms of depression or post-traumatic stress disorder.”

Premier provider of mental health screening programs
Screening for Mental Health, Inc., (SMH) first introduced the concept of
large-scale mental health screenings with National
Depression Screening Day in 1991. SMH programs now include both
in-person and online programs for depression, bipolar disorder, generalized
anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, alcohol
problems, and suicide prevention.
Programs are implemented by local clinicians at mental health facilities,
hospitals, primary care offices, social service agencies, colleges/
universities, workplaces, schools and the military. In 2006 alone, nearly
600,000 screenings were completed at some 12,000 facilities using SMH programs.
