Description
Schools are one of the major facilitators of mental health interventions and frequently utilize universal screenings for identifying students who are at risk. However, there is little guidance and inconsistent application with utilizing universal screening to inform modification of Tier 1 services and selection of Tier 2 interventions. This presentation will provide real world experiences facilitating universal screening and Tier 2 intervention implementation for middle school populations identified as at risk for mental health concerns.
