Mental Health Issues are Common

Mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, are real, common, and treatable. Recovery is possible with the right support.

1 in 5 people have a mental health condition, and many aren’t even aware they are struggling with one. As a result, mental health needs often go untreated, leading to poor physical health, loss of productivity, substance use, and, in some cases, even suicide. Since mental health problems are so common, a mental health screening tool needs to be able to quickly and accurately figure out each person’s complex and unique mental health status.

The current mental health screening solutions are based on tools written 20 to 50 years ago, with many screening for a single condition at a time. Even though these screening tools have been made available in electronic form, no work has been done to make them smarter or faster.

Mental Health Screening is Easy

Online screening is one of the fastest and easiest ways to see if your child is showing signs of a mental health problem, however most online tools available today take a lot of time to complete and are difficult to use. As a result, many people with mental health problems don’t get the help they need.

Our online screening tool is meant to be a quick snapshot of your child’s mental health. If the results indicate they may be experiencing mental illness symptoms, consider sharing them with a mental health professional. A mental health provider (such as a doctor or a therapist) can give you a full assessment and talk to you about options for treatment.*
