Online Mental Health Screening Tool Now Available

10/26/2015

 
PictureA free, confidential online mental health screening tool can be used on a smartphone or tablet as well as a computer web browser.
Residents of Miami, Darke and Shelby Counties can now take advantage of a free, confidential online screening tool by visiting the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services website.

To access the screening tool, go to www.tcbmds.org and choose the Find Help menu, then choose the Take A Screening option. The screening site can also be linked directly at screening.mentalhealthscreening.org/tri-county-ohio.

The screening tool can be accessed from a web browser on a desktop computer, or from a tablet or smartphone. The site automatically resizes and formats appropriately for the type of device.

Screening questionnaires are available for Depression; Generalized Anxiety Disorder; Adolescent Depression; Bipolar Disorder; Alcohol Use Disorder; Posttraumatic Stress Disorder; and Eating Disorder. Persons may take any or all of the screenings, and may take any screening more than once.

Upon completion of the questions, based on answers given, people may receive information for further follow-up, but the site is careful to point out that it should not be considered a diagnosis, and does not substitute for a complete and professional assessment.

"It's a quick checkup," said Brad Reed, Director of Community Resource Development for the Tri-County Board. "It's designed as a self-check for those who may be concerned about their mental wellness, and good way to determine whether a more complete assessment might be warranted."

Results of the screening may be printed or emailed, but in either case, no personal information is kept, either by the Tri-County Board or  Screening for Mental Health, Inc. Aggregated statistics, such as the number of screenings in each category taken, or the number who reported they will seek further help, are collected and reported on a weekly, monthly or annual basis.

"We provide links to our behavioral health service provider partner agencies - Recovery and Wellness Centers of Midwest Ohio, Miami County Recovery Council, and Shelby County Counseling Centers," Reed said. "Or people can link to our full list of service providers, and if they happen to be out of the Tri-County service area, there's a link to a national service locator. We want to remove as many barriers as we can for people who want to take the next step."

Reed added that "mental health is very much like physical health, in that conditions change over time. We encourage people to revisit the screening tool at least once a year, or more often if they feel they have experienced a change."

The subscription cost for the survey is "several hundred dollars a year," Reed said, and added that it is made possible because of local support for the mental health levy. "This is definitely a community service we've been wanting to provide locally for some time," Reed said, "and now that we have it, we want people to use it."

Sidney Police Officer Mike McRill was named the 2015 recipient of the Director's Award at the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services Annual Meeting and Art of Recovery reception October 21 at Edison Community College in Piqua.

In presenting the award, Tri-County Board Executive Director Mark McDaniel cited Officer McRill's deep involvement with advocacy for behavioral health, saying that after McRill attended the 2008 Crisis Intervention Team Academy, "He immediately embraced the core values of CIT in his day-to-day interactions with those experiencing a behavioral health crisis. He became the “go to” officer in his department when other officers had questions regarding a person in crisis and how to get them the care they needed. Now the Community Resource Officer for the Sidney Police Department, he has recently been certified as a Youth Mental Health First Aid instructor as part of his continuing commitment to educate those in our community about how to intervene in a behavioral health crisis."

Accepting the award, McRill stated the importance of the CIT training is tuning officers into the specific needs of those in behavioral health crisis, and thanked his fellow officers for embracing the spirit of CIT. He said as a Community Resource Officer he is thankful for having the opportunity to help people in need, and thanked his family, especially his wife, Karen, for her support.

The Director's Award is presented annually to an individual or group who has demonstrated exemplary service to the Tri-County recovery and mental health system.

Sharon Deschambeau, president of the Darke County Chamber of Commerce, received the Geraldine B. Nelson Advocacy Award at the Tri-County Board of Recovery and Mental Health Services Annual Meeting and Art of Recovery reception October 21 at Edison Community College in Piqua.

In presenting the award, Tri-County Board Chairman and Greenville Police Chief Dennis Butts cited Deschambeau's leading role in "bringing to the table decision-makers from across the spectrum - business leaders, community leaders, elected officials, courts, healthcare, behavioral healthcare and others – to create a coalition to address the serious challenge of opiates and specifically heroin’s effects on Greenville and Darke County. Without this strength of will, without this vision that through coordinated efforts conditions can change, we would not be where we are in addressing this very complex problem."

Deschambeau accepted the award saying the coalition came about in response to hearing Darke County employers say they are having trouble maintaining their workforce due to the scourge of drugs, specifically heroin, affecting employability. She said the issue has "become my passion - it affects the physical health, mental and behavioral health, and spiritual health of our community."

The Geraldine B. Nelson Advocacy Award is named for the Tri-County Board's first Director of Community Resource Development, and has been presented annually since 2000 to individuals or groups who demonstrate exceptional advocacy in the realm of mental health and addiction issues.
