Administering the Screen
Talking to parents and youth to gain permission is an important aspect of the screen. On-going mental health services are voluntary.
When discussing screening it is important to remind youth and families that:
- Screening is a normal part of our lives (we’re screened for hearing, health and vision on a regular basis).
- This is a standard service that is offered to EVERYONE on your caseload.
- Their input is valid and important.
