We all have times when we struggle. How often you have these feeling and how long they last are different for each of us, but they can mean we need to get help from a doctor or mental health professional. Finding support to focus on your emotional health is important. Partners wants you to have the tools you need to get better and stay mentally strong.
We have several online tools to help you decide if you might need help or have a mental health or substance use issue. These tools are made to find out how you’re feeling and help you decide the next steps to take. All tools keep your personal health and private information safe. This means we ensure that your electronic protected health information (e-PHI) is secure and is not available or disclosed to unauthorized people.
HealthCheck 20/20 helps identify co-existing behavioral health conditions. It supports earlier identification and care for mental health and substance use disorders.
If you think you may have a substance use disorder or could have a mental health condition, click on the HealthCheck 20/20 button to complete an assessment. HealthCheck 20/20 screenings are available for:
- Alcohol screening in individuals with mental health disorders
- Depression screening for adults with substance use disorders
Self-Help Assessments help you see areas in your life where you might need help. Self-help tools help you better manage your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. These tools provide a starting point for conversations with your health care provider. Please choose a box that best describes how you are feeling to get started with your screening.
