New Interactive Screening Program at UAF 

Hey Nanook Nation! Stress, anxiety, and the pressures of school and day-to-day life affect us all. Sometimes those pressures can negatively affect our happiness, our relationships with others, our school performance, and even our feelings and beliefs about ourselves. Whatever you’re struggling with – family pressures, school workload, relationship issues, grief, stress or financial concerns – it is easy to get overwhelmed without an idea of where to turn for support. The Interactive Screening Program is a safe and secure online tool that connects you to a counselor to learn more about how you can get support for mental health concerns. It’s as simple as...Click, connect and chat! If you are a student, please watch out for our email survey invitation! You can also access the questionnaire from our website or the above link. Questions? Contact Stacey Schmitt, LCSW at Student Health and Counseling: 907-474-7043.
