Student Screening
Mental health & substance use screenings are conducted for early identification of students needing support, addressing barriers to care like cost and stigma, preventing issues from worsening, improving academic focus, and gathering data for school-wide wellness, especially since many mental health issues start in adolescence. These screenings act as a first step, flagging potential concerns for counselors and parents and the data helps districts understand community needs and tailor intervention and enrichment programs.
