SCREENINGS FOR DEPRESSION PLANNED

To mark the third anniversary of National Depression Screening Day, Saint Albans Hospital will offer free, anonymous screenings for depression Thursday, 3-5 p.m. and 6-8 p.m. at the Fairlawn Presbyterian Church fellowship hall. The church is on Peppers Ferry Road on the corner of Pulaski Avenue.

Participants will complete a simple depression screening inventory, which will be rated by mental health professionals while participants hear a brief presentation on depression.

Individual interviews will be held with each participant.

No appointments are necessary, but if you would like to reserve a space or would like more information, call Saint Albans Hospital, 633-4560, or toll-free, (800) 284-8898.
