What is
TeenScreen?
|
Most mental health issues in young people go
undiagnosed or unrecognized during the critical developmental period
of adolescence. Early identification
of these issues is paramount to ensuring they will be dealt with in
a timely
and effective manner. The Columbia TeenScreen program is a
free and voluntary adolescent screening tool that assesses physical
and emotional
well-being. It is a reaction to growing concerns over high
incidence of depression, violence, alienation, substance abuse,
intolerance and daily
stress in our schools today. The screening, conducted by a licensed
mental health professional, detects emotional problems experienced
by teens while the issues are still in their early stages. The
screening involves a variety of assessment tools including a paper
questionnaire, an interactive software interviewing program, and a
face-to-face interview. After securing permission for services, a
case manager helps the student with guidance and follow-through.
Columbia TeenScreen is a proactive step designed to ensure our
students’ safety and get them help when needed.
