On-line Screenings and Resources
 |
University Health Services recognizes that as a
student you are balancing many roles and responsibilities - and
our goal is to provide you with resources that are available
when you are available. |
|
The internet is the #1 place that Americans go to
look for information related to our health. Unfortunately
not all information is created equal - and the world wide web is
filled with inaccurate and misleading health information.
We are pleased to provide you with access to the
resources listed on this page. You can feel confident that
the information you receive from these sites is reliable.
These resources are anonymous and confidential. Each of
these programs also can provide you with links back to resources
available at UMass Boston.

Screening for Mental Health is an

"Rate Yourself" at myStudentBody.com (mSB).
Our campus wide subscription to mSB provides you with access to
a variety of 'rate yourself' scales to help you determine your
risk for a variety of health related problems (alcohol,
drugs, nutrition, tobacco,
stress and sexually transmitted infections) - as well as
providing you with tailored feedback to help you reduce your
risk of these problems. To start click here.

This website can help you find out.
Start by answering a few short questions about your past
and present use of various drugs, such as marijuana,
cocaine, tobacco, inhalants or alcohol. You'll get
feedback about the likely risks of your drug use, and
advice about when and where to seek more information,
evaluation, and help. |

We have also worked with the Jed Foundation to
provide our students with access to
ULifeLine.org.
to provide online access to comprehensive
mental health information and resources. Just click on "student
log in" and choose University of Massachusetts Boston from the
drop down menu.
