Screening

Universal screening supports prevention and early intervention practices in schools. While assessing emotional and behavioral problems is often the primary focus of school-based screening, this approach may not fully address the needs of all students. By including strength-based measures in school-based universal mental wellness screening, we empower educators and administrators with a broader understanding of mental health, enabling them to inform proactive interventions that address problems while enhancing strengths.

Dual-Factor Complete Mental Health Model

Students take an active role in modern mental health screening, evaluating both their psychological distress and subjective well-being using the dual-factor or dual-continuum mental health model.

psychological, and social well-being” (Keyes, 2005, p. 539)
