Self-Check Test

Visit Resource

The Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline have joined with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to create the Veterans Self-Check Quiz. This is a safe, easy way to learn whether stress and depression might be affecting you.

Using this service is completely voluntary and confidential.

You must be at least 18 years old to complete the Self-Check Quiz.


To continue with the Self-Check Quiz, please follow the 3 easy steps below

  1. Fill out a brief Self-Check Quiz, which takes about 10 minutes. 
  2. A VA Chat Responder will review it and leave a personal response for you on this secure website. The Responder's note will offer options for follow-up if it's felt that could be helpful.
  3. You decide what's next. You may enter the online Veterans Chat and continue talking with a Responder with or without identifying yourself. You may want to get a referral to see someone in person. Or, you can decide to do nothing at this time. It's all up to you. No follow-up services will be provided unless you request them.
