Welcome!
Welcome!
No matter how challenging the times, you are not alone in South Carolina. The South Carolina Department of Mental Health (SCDMH) and the South Carolina Department of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services (DAODAS) have teamed up to offer this safe and easy service that allows you to anonymously take a Self-Check Questionnaire and connect with a professional counselor who can offer guidance, support, and resources to help connect you with mental health and addiction services. If you are a parent or guardian looking to take a Questionnaire to connect with a counselor on behalf of your child, please visit hope.connectsSCkids.org.
Using this service is completely voluntary and confidential.
This is not an emergency response system or crisis intervention service. If you are in crisis or contemplating suicide, please call or text 988 or chat 988lifeline.org. You can also reach SCDMH's mobile crisis line at 1-833-364-2274.
We are ready to help if you are overwhelmed by COVID-19 challenges, feeling overly stressed or anxious, coping with a natural disaster, struggling with addiction, feeling depressed and don't know where to turn. We hope you'll take advantage of this safe and easy service.
Take 3 Easy Steps
- Click the "Sign-Up" button below;
- Create a User ID and password, allowing for complete anonymity;
- Take and submit the Questionnaire, which takes less than 10 minutes to complete.
What Happens Next?
A program counselor will review your Questionnaire and leave a personal response for you on this secure website. The response will include guidance, support, and information about how to connect with available mental health and addiction services.
You decide what's next. You may continue to dialogue with the professional counselor through this website to receive more information about how to connect with available mental health and addiction services, or you can decide to do nothing further at this time.
It's up to you. No follow-up or service will be provided unless requested.
