Forward

¡°In 2003, the President¡¯s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health concluded that

America¡¯s mental health service delivery system was in shambles. The Commission¡¯s

final report stated that ¡°for too many Americans with mental illnesses, the mental health

services and supports they need remain fragmented, disconnected and often inadequate,

frustrating the opportunity for recovery.¡± A number of the recommendations of the

President¡¯s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health were not implemented or have

only been partially realized. Since then, quality of life has not fundamentally changed for

adults with serious mental illnesses (SMI) and children and youth with serious emotional

disturbances (SED) and their families in the United States.¡±

-The Way Forward (2017)

Students are routinely screened for physical health issues (e.g., vision, hearing). However,

emotional or behavioral health issues are generally detected after they have already emerged. It

is time for that to change.

The Ready, Set, Go, Review: Screening for Behavioral Health Risk in Schools toolkit is designed

to guide schools through the process of developing comprehensive screening procedures, as well

as provide readily available resources to facilitate the implementation of effective behavioral

health screening in schools.
