Mental Health Needs Assessment and Navigation

Mental Health Needs Assessment (MHNA):

CHWC’s Mental Health Needs Assessment is conducted for all Durham College students self-referring for mental health supports who have not previously accessed our services. These appointments are completed by a mental health professional where a standardized tool is utilized to determine a student’s needs to provide them with resources, appropriate referrals and support with next steps for navigating their mental health and wellness journey.

Please note:

*This is not a doctors appointment is not designed for handling crisis situations or emergencies

*If you have already completed a Mental Health Needs Assessment in the last four months, please look to book a follow up appointment through our specialized supports.
