First Mental Health Screening Tool to be Available at QCare at ShopRite of Fox Street

July 31, 2014 Category: Uncategorized

The nation’s first Behavioral Health Screening Kiosk is launching at QCare at the ShopRite of Fox Street on August 5.

The screening kiosk was developed through the 2014 Scattergood Design Challenge, which asked individuals and organizations to create an intervention (an idea paired with a plan of actionthat included an education, access or service component for behavioral and mental health services at retail clinics.

The Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disability Services (DBHIDS) and Screening for Mental Health Inc. (SMH) won the design challenge last April with their proposal, “Wellness at Your Fingertips.” Read Generocity.org’s initial story about it here.

Scattergood Behavioral Health Foundation project managers (and Drexel University School of Public Health Masters students) Gregory Caplan and Teresa Moore collaborated with Family Practice and Counseling Network, which operates QCare, to pilot the winning design challenge in the QCare within ShopRite of Fox Street.

The Behavioral Kiosk will provide ShopRite and QCare Clinic customers with:

  • An assessment of their mental health
  • Information on whether their mental health is consistent with a mental health disorder
  • An overview of the signs and symptoms of treatable mental health conditions
  • Resources for quality treatment options including QCare staff  

The mental health screening is also available online at screening.mentalhealthscreening.org/qcareclinic

The event on August 5 can also be followed with the hashtag #checkupcheckout. For more information, visit Scattergood’s website.
