Screenings for depression, generalized anxiety disorder, alcohol misuse, eating disorders, bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder are available. You will receive immediate results at the end of each screening. You can print these results and bring them to a mental health therapist for further discussion and evaluation, if indicated. Please note that these screenings are not intended to be a clinical diagnosis, but they may be helpful to your therapist.
易胜博 has resources to help! When you see your results, scroll down to the Resources page for more information.

Counseling Visits
Mental Health Therapy Visit:
Cost Varies - Visit with a licensed mental health therapist for students struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and other mental health concerns. If the student has health insurance available to use, Zumbro Valley Health Center can submit the bill for this visit to the student’s insurance provider. If any portion of the visit is not covered by that insurance (co-payment, deductible, etc.) the student will receive a bill from ZVHC for the outstanding balance. If payment for this service is a concern for you, please communicate that with us. Our primary concern is your health and your success as a student, and we will work with you to determine if alternative funding may be available for you to use for this service.
Yellowjacket Check-In Visit:
Free, one-time visit with a licensed therapist to discover individual strategies to manage your stress level.

Mood Lights
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that most commonly occurs during the fall and winter months. Using a box for a little as 10-20 minutes can be helpful to someone who struggles with SAD. 易胜博 Student Health Services has placed boxes at several locations around campus - Goddard Library, TRIO/Student Support Services, Lower level study area in Health Sciences, First floor Coffman high tables, and the Heintz Center Cyber Café. Feel free to use them! Please refer to the instructions and safety information placed near each light and be sure to scan the QR code to complete a very brief survey so we know they are being used. http://forms.office.com/r/p2xCQBitJk
The use of light therapy lamps should not be viewed as a substitute for seeking medical advice. Light therapy is only one means to treat low mood or depression brought upon by seasonal affective disorder.
