Anonymous, personalized help for suicide prevention
September 2, 2020
Stress, anxiety, and the pressures of school and day-to-day life affect us all. Whatever
you’re struggling with — COVID-19, 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.UAF's 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. Here are some of the key principles of ISP:
- Complete anonymity: Your user ID is unique to you and can be anything you choose. Your identity will not be known to the counselor unless you choose to share it.
- Personalized, interactive engagement with counselors: Instead of computerized feedback, you will receive a personal response to your questionnaire from a counselor at UAF Student Health and Counseling or the UAF Community Mental Health Clinic.
- Connection and support: A counselor will respond to the experiences you share and provide you with the support you need, whether that's someone to listen or to help connect you to other services.
