Free Screenings
As a participant in the Campaign for America’s Mental Health, the Mental Health Association in Tulsa participates in annual screening events offered free of charge to the community. National Anxiety Disorders Screening Day occurs in early May during May is Mental Health Month, and National Depression Screening Day is held in early October in conjunction with Mental Illness Awareness Week.
Attendees are given the opportunity to complete a confidential written screening test and talk one-on-one with a mental health professional. Those who appear to need further evaluation are referred to local treatment services. The Mental Health Association works closely with Tulsa area agencies offering treatment on a sliding scale basis and works to be sure no person advised to seek treatment goes without help, even if they are uninsured.
For upcoming national screening dates, times and locations, please check the calendar.
Free and confidential screenings are also available by appointment year round through the Assistance Center, or on-line at the following Web sites :
