Advocates urge Chicago schools to adopt universal mental health screening
Original: Advocates: CPS can lead on universal mental health screening. Will it?
Advocates are pressing Chicago Public Schools to become a leader in universal mental health screening for students. The question they pose is whether the district will commit to screening all students, not just those already flagged for concerns. Supporters argue early identification of mental health issues could improve student wellbeing and outcomes, though the district has not said whether it will act.
Why now: Growing attention to youth mental health is pushing advocates to demand districts act on screening.
