Interventions

  • Screening Only — BEHAVIORAL
    The Screening Only intervention integrates enhancements to school-based mental health (SBMH). Each school's typical SBMH service delivery system will be enhanced with biweekly meetings of voluntary school teams (comprised of administrators, school counselors, general and special education teachers, and other school-employed mental health professionals) to 1) follow standardized evidence-based intervention decision making process to identify students with mental health risk, plan and/or refer for an evidence-based intervention, monitor intervention progress, and adjust intervention plans as needed; 2) administer teacher-rated and student self-report universal screening twice annually; 3) review screening and related school records data to identify students with mental health risk; and 4) review screening, referral, and receipt data to monitor progress of entire SBMH service delivery system.
  • Enhanced Screening — BEHAVIORAL
    The Enhanced Screening intervention involves the enhancements to school-based mental health (SBMH) of the Screening Only intervention with the addition of 3 empirically-based implementation supports, including training, coaching, and data-based feedback. Enhancement aim to increase school teams' awareness and understanding of students' mental health well-being and need for intervention. enhancements.
