MU Psychology Clinic to offer free screenings for National Anxiety Screening Day

March 1, 2026 - 13:15

In recognition of National Anxiety Screening Day, the Marshall University Psychology Clinic is opening its doors to offer complimentary and confidential anxiety screenings. The event, scheduled for Wednesday, March 4, is available to all students, faculty, staff, and members of the wider Huntington community.

The initiative aims to raise awareness about anxiety disorders, which are among the most common mental health concerns. Clinicians stress that these screenings are not a formal diagnosis but rather a helpful first step for individuals to understand their symptoms and explore potential next steps for care. The process provides a private opportunity to discuss experiences with a mental health professional in a supportive, non-judgmental setting.

Organizers highlight the importance of proactive mental health check-ins, noting that many people manage symptoms of anxiety without recognizing their impact on daily life. Early identification and discussion can be pivotal in managing well-being. The clinic hopes this event will reduce stigma and connect individuals with appropriate resources, fostering a healthier campus and community. Screenings will be conducted at the university's psychology clinic facility throughout the designated day.
