CollegeResponse®: National Depression Screening Day:
October 10, 2008
National Depression Screening Day is a one-day outreach, education and
screening event held in October of each year.
As a component of the NDSD Regular Kit, the College SOS Suicide Prevention
Program includes a video, discussion guide and educational material that can be
presented by Residence Life Staff, Wellness Programs, Counseling Personnel or
others at any time throughout the year.
The program aims to raise public awareness that mood and anxiety disorders are
common and often undetected disorders for which there are many effective
treatments, and to identify those students at-risk for mood and anxiety
disorders and refer them for treatment.
