Abstract:
The current article provides a brief overview of universal mental health screening in schools. We begin by presenting the available evidence for the effectiveness of school-based mental health screening. We then report on its acceptability among stakeholders with discussion of the barriers and logistical considerations required to successfully deliver screening in schools. Finally, we present a case example of the national student mental health check-in tool, My Mind Check, developed and being implemented in Australian schools.
