• How are You Feeling? Unsure if You Need Help?

  Mental health is a key part of your overall health. Brief screenings are the quickest way to determine if you or someone you care about should connect with a mental health professional - they are a checkup from your neck up.

  We are happy to provide brief free online screening for mental health and substance abuse issues. This program is completely anonymous and confidential, and immediately following the brief questionnaire you will see your results, recommendations, and key resources.

• Green Dot Prevention Program

  A prevention program focused on empowering bystanders to become active member in reducing power-based personal violence to develop a safer college community. Anoka-Ramsey is passionate about making Green Dot a standard in our community and whenever possible, we do something to end violence.

  What is Power-Based Personal Violence?

  “Power-based personal violence is a form of violence that has as a primary motivator the assertion of power, control and/or intimidation in order to harm another. This includes partner violence, sexual assault, stalking, and other uses of force, threat, intimidation, or harassment of an individual. It also includes the use of alcohol or drugs to commit any of these acts. These acts are inclusive of acts committed by strangers, friends, acquaintances, intimates, or other persons. Men can be victims of power-based personal violence and this kind of violence can happen in gay and lesbian relationships, meaning offender and victim can be of either sex"
  --Dorothy J. Edwards, Ph.D. Ending Violence...One Green Dot at a Time
