The basic steps of the YScreen process are 1) Educating youth, parents, and school staff, 2) Obtaining consent, 3) Conducting the screening through a questionnaire and one-on-one conversation between the youth and YScreen staff, 4) Identifying youth who are struggling, and 5) Assisting parents in securing mental health services for their child.
YScreen does more than identify youth who are struggling. The process also educates youth about the importance of paying attention to their mental health, helps them identify their support networks and coping skills, and for many provides peace of mind that what they are experiencing is normal.
