Mental Health Checkup is a web-based app that allows Veterans to take a variety of mental health assessments from the comfort and convenience of home. You can complete assessments assigned by your provider and receive scores and feedback in real time on a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

The app allows you to view and complete mental health assessments assigned by your VA provider(s), as well as view assessment results and receive follow-up information from your provider(s) about your assessment results.

Select Assigned on the home screen to view upcoming assessments assigned by your provider(s). You will see the number of assigned assessments next to the tab name and below that, a table with each assessment’s due date, name, the name of your provider, and assessment frequency.

To complete an assessment, select the Due tab on the home screen. Find the assessment you would like to complete in your list of due assessments, then select Complete to begin taking an assessment that is due. A list of questions will appear asking for information related to the specific mental health condition you and your VA provider are monitoring. To complete the questions, select a response, then select Next. Continue this process until you come to the end of the questionnaire. Once you have completed the questions, select Submit to submit the assessment. Once the assessment has been submitted, it will be scored, saved, and available to your provider. A confirmation page will appear, which may include scored results of your assessment.

Select the Completed tab on the home screen to view all your completed assessments. You will see the number of completed assignments next to the tab name. The number of completed assessments with new feedback from your provider will be displayed in the section header. Select View to the right of an assessment to view the completed details page. Once you have viewed the completed details page for an assessment, it will be considered reviewed and will not appear in the new count.

To view your completed assessment as a graph, select View Assessment Score Historical Graphs above the assessment table, then select View as Graph in the top right corner above the assessment chart. To expand an assessment table, select the name of the assessment you would like to expand. A line graph of the assessment will appear. You can filter the line graph by number of assessments or by date range. To view your completed assessments as a table, select View as Table in the top right corner above the assessment chart.

From anywhere in the app, select Help in the top right corner of the screen. A pop-up Help box will appear detailing the app’s supported browsers, Help Desk information, and Emergency information. Select Close to return to the screen you were viewing.

If you are in crisis, select Crisis Support from anywhere in the app for help finding the resources you need.
