To require psychological screening within all schools

Created by K.D. on February 18, 2013

Psychological screening should be performed within schools at the high school level. Students should have to be evaluated by a professional to ensure that they are getting the help that they need. Sometimes people may not realize that they are suffering from a disorder and may not know when to reach out for help. This would help promote mental health in schools and create a better learning environment.

The amount of suicides and other tragedies that happen at the high school age level is astounding, and annual screenings would help students receive help. Parents would also be notified when there is a diagnosis, so that they can participate in making the next step to help their child.
