“We are pleased that self-screening will now be available throughout the province. These quick self-screening tools help people think about how they are really feeling and help them get connected to local resources and supports if or when needed,” said Carol Anne Wight, Regional Director of Mental Health and Addictions. Since implementing CheckItOutNL.ca three years ago, there have been 7368 self-screenings completed.
