Caring for a child starts with caring for yourself, too.
These quick, private screenings are here to help you pause and check in on how you’ve been feeling. Whether things feel heavy, off, or just different than usual—this is a simple place to start.
What to Know Before You Start
These screenings are part of a mental health initiative in Erie County, PA to increase awareness and education. They are provided to help you reflect on how you’ve been feeling — not to provide a diagnosis or replace medical care.
Your responses and total score are recorded in a de-identified way, meaning your results are not connected to your name or other personal details.
At the end of the screening, you will have the option to download, print, or save your results***. If you choose, you can share this summary with a healthcare provider or mental health professional to support a conversation about how you’ve been feeling.
Your results are based only on the answers you provide and may not reflect your full health history or experiences.
If your results raise concerns — or if you have concerns of your own — we encourage you to connect with a healthcare provider or mental health professional for additional support.
