Substance Abuse Screening Tool

Brought to you by the JED Campus Initiative

Any member of the Ithaca College Community is able to screen themselves at anytime using the Substance Use Screening Tool.   

Students that would like to talk more about their substance use are encouraged to schedule free and confidential BASICS appointments with the Center for Health Promotion (CHP). Or students needing support with other mental health concerns are encouraged to contact the Center for Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS); faculty and staff needing assistance are encouraged to contact the Employee Assistance Program (EAP).

For students that would like to receive more in-depth personalized feedback about their substance use, they can complete this free screening tool at any time (available on the CHP website). Our campus community also has access to a wide variety of mental health screenings by visiting this page of screening tools, (available on the CAPS homepage).

The campus community also has access to the Sanvello wellness app for free.  It will assist you in managing stress, anxiety, depression and build resiliency.
