The Counseling Services Department and Health Services will sponsor
a free Depression Screening Event on Oct. 9 to coincide with National
Depression Screening Day.
Screening sessions will be at 12:30 and at 6 p.m. and are open to
students and the public. Both sessions will be at the UTA Counseling
Services Office at 216 Davis Hall.
“The program includes a written screening, after which they
will meet with a professional staff person to go over the results,”
said Renda Hawkins, a counseling specialist.
Each of the two-hour sessions will include a lecture on depression,
followed by a question-and-answer session and video presentation.
Psychologist Colleen Trimble will hold the 12:30 p.m. lecture, while
Counseling Services Director Kenneth Farr will hold the 6 p.m. session.
