For College Students
The Self Evaluator was developed for ULifeline by Duke University School of Medicine and screens for thirteen of the most common mental health conditions that college students face. This screening does not provide a diagnosis, but identifies problems that could be impacting thoughts, feelings and behaviors. The screening process also provides information on these conditions and how to reach out for help.
Suicide Prevention
The SAMHSA-HRSA Center for Integral Health Solutions is focused on suicide and suicide prevention and is geared towards health, behavioral health, and integrated care leadership, providers, and patients/consumers. The information and resources listed here can be easily adapted to other groups and settings. Suicide, Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), and Trauma are often interrelated.
