Free- Depression Screening

In honor of National Depression Screening Day, the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is offering a free depression screening for UMMS employees and family members. Screenings will be brief, private, and confidentially reviewed by an experienced EAP counselor on site. The screening will take 5-10 minutes.  If needed, recommendations and/or referrals can be made for you at the time of the screening or at your convenience.  Participants will be entered into a raffle drawing to win a gift certificate from a local restaurant.  The screening will be held 9:00 a.m.- 12:00 and 1:00-4:00p.m. on Friday, November 15, 2013 in Weinberg (Rooms 6 & 7) in the Learning Center of the University of Maryland Hospital.
