Screening for Mental Health Inc. (SMH) is
the non-profit organization that first introduced the concept of large-scale
mental health screenings with its flagship program 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.
Our programs have been used by hospitals, mental health centers, social service
agencies, government agencies, older adult facilities, primary care clinicians,
colleges, secondary schools, corporations and HMO’s, reaching individuals
ranging from teens to older adults.
SMH’s programs have reduced the stigma that inhibits many individuals with
mental illness from seeking treatment. The programs are also helpful to those
who are worried about a friend or family member. Teaching people how to
identify mental illness and specific ways to access treatment for themselves or
a loved one is the cornerstone of SMH’s programs.
