One way to help youth build self-awareness, reduce stigma, and promote positive well-being is to incorporate school screening tools. Adolescent youth face many transitions like entering secondary school, growth & development, and coping with life’s uncertainties. These new challenges can mask undetected mental health concerns leading to serious emotional disturbance. The benefits of implementing school screening tools like YouthCheck can help identify those concerns early and likely prevent long-term consequences of poor mental health. This non-diagnostic screening helps youth understand their thoughts, feelings, and behavior tendencies. Providers must cultivate collaborative relationships with school administrators and staff to gain access to schools. That partnership will benefit youth and families by providing early identification of mental health concerns, access to resources, and improved outcomes.
