October is National Depression Awareness Month. Depression is one of the most prevalent concerns affecting college students, so Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) challenges the Mason community to #TalkAboutIt. Throughout the month, we will be sharing information to raise awareness and understanding of depression as well as ways students can access free, online self-screening tools. Last update: September 20, 2023.

Social Media Campaign

 

Follow @caps_gmu on Instagram and Twitter! Throughout the month, we will be sharing information, resources, and coping tips on depression!

Online Screening Services

 

In February 2024, JED discontinued ULifeline, an online resource dedicated to college mental health. Instead, JED has consolidated various helpful tools, guides, and support for students and educational institutions into one comprehensive platform. The Jed Foundation has provided a link to Mental Health America’s Mental Health Tests as an alternative resource. This online screener can help individuals identify potential symptoms of a mental health condition. The assessments cover a wide range of issues beyond just depression. After completing the mental health assessment, you will receive valuable information, resources, and tools aimed at enhancing your understanding and improving your mental well-being.
