RATIONALE FOR MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING OF YOUTHS IN THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM
“Recent research has established that a large proportion of youth involved with the juvenile justicesysteminthiscountryhavesignificantmentalhealthproblems.Findingsfromanumberofmentalhealthprevalence studies conducted within the last five years among youth in a variety of juvenile justicesettings – community‐based, detention, corrections – are remarkably consistent. Approximately 65percentto70percentofyouthinthejuvenilejusticesystemhaveadiagnosablementalhealthdisorder.Severementaldisordersarecloseto27percent,indicatingthatmorethanonequarterofallyouthinthejuvenilejusticesystemareinsignificantneedofmentalhealthtreatment.
Oneof themost important first steps to respond to thementalhealth treatmentneedsofyouth in thejuvenile justice system is to systematically identify themental health needs of youth as they becomeinvolvedwith the juvenile justice system. Mental health screening is now routinely preformedwithinmanyjuvenilejusticeagenciesandprogramsthroughoutthecountry.Thisisimportantprogressintheoverallefforttobetteridentifyandrespondtoyouthwithmentalhealthtreatmentneeds.”
MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING AND MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT
“Mental Health Screening is a relatively brief process carried out by non‐clinical staff using astandardizedmental health screening tool. Some tools offer structured questions that youth answerabouttheircurrentorrecentthoughts,feelings,orbehaviors.Othersaskstafftomakeratingsbasedonpastrecordsorcaretakers’reportsofyouths’behavior. Inanycase,mentalhealthscreeningisatriageprocess that is employedwith every youth during an initial probation intake interview, within a fewhoursafterintakeinpretrialdetentionoruponentranceintojuvenilejusticeplacement.
