Behavioral health – which includes mental health, substance use, and more – is a key part of your overall well-being. Brief screenings are the quickest way to determine if you or someone you care about should connect with a behavioral health professional. Think of these as a checkup from your neck up. The Counseling Center offers the Mindwise Brief Screening program which is completely anonymous and confidential, and immediately following the brief questionnaire you will see your results, recommendations, and key resources. Please check out the Counseling Center website at www.tntech.edu/counsel for more information.

Bullying: Get the facts to help your child or any child
School is officially back in session! And too many children experience bullying, too often. Adults can help prevent this by talking openly about bullying and responding quickly if it happens. This sends the message that bullying is not acceptable. There are a lot of myths about bullying that may hurt our children and get in the way of change. Bullying is an epidemic in the U.S., so you should never feel like you’re alone in dealing with it. Please remember that we’re here to support you, as you do everything you can to support your child.
For more ideas and suggestions, or if you need to talk to someone right now, call 855-Here4TN (855-437-3486).
