Hi,

The TeenScreen Program is an extremely controversial mental health screening program developed by Columbia University’s Child Psychiatry Research Department. Their goal is to screen every school-aged child before graduation for suicide and "mental disorders" using a computer survey and then recommending those that are considered at risk for "treatment." With daily reports of violence and even murder on the rise — on the surface this program sounds like a good thing. Could it be a program that could potentially reduce violence and deaths in our schools? Is TeenScreen really effective and able to achieve its stated goals? What kind of diagnosis and treatment methods are being recommended, and what are the long-term effects? What does screening mean to the future of our children?
