Visit the Aiberry website for access to confidential online screenings. U-M partners with Aiberry to provide a fast, easy, and completely anonymous way to check in on your emotional wellness. In just a few minutes, you’ll receive confidential insights into your mental health, along with helpful resources and next steps.
Why take a screening?
Online mental health screenings are a convenient way to reflect on your mental health and learn about available resources. There are screenings for a variety of mental health and well-being topics, and the questions will ask about specific experiences and concerns. The screening results will indicate whether your current concerns suggest a minimal, moderate, or severe level of symptoms, and offer some general guidance about potential next steps. Please note that the screenings are not a diagnosis, and they do not replace an evaluation by a healthcare professional. Rather, the results can be a first step towards learning more about your current concerns– think of it as a “conversation starter” with your healthcare provider and an opportunity to learn more about resources that support your needs for mental health and well-being.
How were the screenings developed?
The online screenings offered by the Aiberry screening platform are research-validated assessments that cover several common mental health topics and concerns.
A note about some screenings
The online screenings are based on mental health research and use evidence-based scoring methods to determine the results. You may notice that some questions ask about specific experiences and symptoms that may feel personal. Please know that these screenings are completely optional, and all of your responses are anonymous and confidential. If you have questions about any mental health topic, you can discuss your concerns with your healthcare provider or connect with University of Michigan’s mental health teams for staff and faculty.
“I’m worried about weight & body shape” screening: This screening asks a question about weight. The information from this question is used to help determine the results for this screening. If you do not want to answer a question about weight, you can choose to not complete this screening.
Who can see the screening results?
Your screening results are only available to you. The screenings are completely anonymous. You have an option to provide some limited demographic information before each screening, which is only used to understand general patterns in which screenings are being completed. Because the screenings are anonymous and only available to you, you do have an option to download your screening results to share with your healthcare professional, if you so choose.
I completed a screening - what’s next?
After receiving your results, you may wish to explore counseling options or self-guided information. Whether your results suggest a mild, moderate, or a more severe level of symptoms, you are always welcome to connect with U-M’s mental health support resources to find the right match for your needs and interests.
