From Hyde County

A first-of-its-kind, mental health screening tool for Hyde County will be unveiled during a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, Nov. 17.

This screening kiosk — one of two in the state — comes as part of the new Access Point Screening Program from Trillium Health Resources, the behavioral health and intellectual and developmental disabilities management authority for 24 eastern North Carolina counties.

Many people with mental health and substance-use challenges go without treatment — in part because their disorders go undiagnosed. The Access Point Screening Program is designed to provide people with access to anonymous, evidence-based screenings for mental health and substance-use challenges. This new tool will provide immediate results and connect users to resources.

WHEN: Nov. 17 at 11 a.m.

WHERE: Hyde County Government Center, 30 Oyster Creek Road, Swan Quarter
