Mental health professionals from Barnabas Health Behavioral Health Center will offer a variety of free, confidential mental health screenings on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Barnabas Health Behavioral Health Center, located at 1691 U.S. Highway 9 in Toms River.


Mental health is an essential part of overall health and wellness. At times, everyone faces challenges, which puts mental health at risk and causes stress. Poor mental health is a medical condition that can be treated. Medications and exercise can often improve mental health.


Screenings to be offered on Mental Health Screening Day include those for depression, anxiety, stress, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. These screenings are open to the public and are designed to educate individuals about the signs and symptoms of mental health issues.
