LEONARDTOWN, MD (December 8, 2020) – The St. Mary’s County Health Department (SMCHD) has launched an online behavioral health screening tool to help community members assess their mental health and to connect them with support if needed.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted us all in significant ways,” said Dr. Meena Brewster, St. Mary’s County Health Officer. “Our community members may be feeling sadness, anxiety, stress or other strong emotions due to isolation, financial strain or loss. This online tool is meant to help community members gauge their mental wellness and to connect them with resources to assist if needed.”
