So . . . is your score 6 or greater? If yes, here's what you
can do:
· You do not have to deal with this alone. Seek assistance!
· Call Counseling and Wellness Services at 775-3407.
· Contact Consumer Credit Counseling at 643-0020.
Remember, a high score on this questionnaire
does not necessarily mean you have a serious problem--only
an evaluation by an experienced clinician can make this determination. |
