SCREENING AND ASSESSMENT

A clearer picture—not a diagnosis

MASS is our proprietary psychometric screening and assessment system. Separate student and adult tools bring together several areas of mental wellbeing rather than relying on one symptom or one score.

  • psychological stress and its sources;
  • mental-health concerns and warning symptoms;
  • psychosocial pressures and risk factors;
  • resilience, coping and protective strengths;
  • study, relationships and everyday functioning;
  • separate safety indicators requiring attention.
