[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child answered some of the questions in a concerning way last fall which cued the school psychologist to talk to them which opened up a dialogue where they shared that they were engaging in self harming behavior. I will always be grateful and am so glad their name was attached.[/quote]

I was the PP who said we opted out. And your post is the most convincing argument to counter my position. Thank you for sharing that. I can hear the relief and gratitude in your post and so I am genuinely glad this exists for those who choose to take part in it. And I'm so happy that the information was used to help your child.[/quote]

Thank you so much for such a kind response. We truly did not know how hard our child was struggling and *thought* their mental health needs were being addressed. The phone call from the school psychologist changed everything and a year later things are very different in the best way (thanks to adding a psychiatrist and meds…they already saw a therapist). I am still so impressed that the school psychologist talked to our child the same day the SEL Screener was taken and called me that very afternoon. I know there are mixed opinions on the screeners but they do help save some kids in very dark places.[/quote]
