Self-help: Your Online-Screening Tools!

The self-assessment links below are intended for those students who are concerned that a problem exists. If your assessment results indicate a possible problem, please consider seeking a consultation about this at the Student Counseling Center. Assessment is the first step and can be a catalyst toward getting the help needed if you suffer from any one of these problems. We offer some other self-help resources as well, so check them out too! Knowledge is power, but it doesn't necessarily produce any change by itself.

Please remember that screening tools or on-line educational data cannot accurately diagnose a person or take the place of an in-person professional consultation or counseling. These assessments are anonymous. If you like, print or record your results and bring them to your first session with a counselor. All Free For UNT Students!
