 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.
