Middle and high school students face increasing academic, social, and emotional pressures, yet many mental health concerns go unnoticed until they significantly impact learning and well-being. Annual mental health screenings can help identify concerns early and connect students to support before challenges escalate. Early identification allows schools to respond proactively, reduce stigma around mental health, and better support students’ academic and emotional success. When students receive timely support, they are more able to engage in learning and thrive in school.
