Dear Colleagues,
Although summer is just getting started (at least for those
of us in the NW), it's not too early to think about up-coming
Fall events. National Depression Screening Day is scheduled
for October 5, 2000. If you would like to host a screening site,
you can register before August 1 by calling the National
Depression Screening Day office at 781-239-0071. Last year more
than 4000 screening sites participated in the project, and more
than 100,000 people attended the screening.
Please feel free to forward this information to professional colleagues,
