The 5 minute veteran mental health screening tool
CheckUpp is an easy to use, five-minute online screening tool that can identify deteriorating mental health, flag users who are deemed high-risk (either based on risk factors or symptoms) and connect them with veteran friendly service providers. This enables early intervention prior to serious (or life threatening) issues arising.
Gold standard assessment
To maximise the accuracy of the assessment, CheckUpp uses an innovative ’gold standard’ triangulation method. It captures information from three perspectives (self-reported wellbeing, stakeholder-reported wellbeing, and behavioural data) to identify and track symptoms, risk factors, and protective factors over time. It can be used anytime, anywhere.
