Description
Preventive school mental health models include universal screening to identify students for early supports. However, many schools experience barriers to implementing and using social–emotional screening. School psychologists are in a unique position to deliver systems consultation for social–emotional screening. This session will review roles of school psychologists in universal screening; teach skills needed to effectively support screening; and share tools and procedures to develop a systematic social–emotional screening protocol for schools.
