[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.  And yes, If I had opted out, I wouldn't have this issue right now- but how would that be good for my daughter?

It opened my eyes to the fact that my kid is down and needs more and I'll be more cognizant to her mental health needs, and if I can't get her in to someone asap, I can at least try to help her and be supportive at home for now.  Focus on what is important.

You already knew before the screener. I seriously doubt you had zero idea before this screener. And if you didn’t, you are totally checked out. [b]And now unfortunately your kid will have this result in her file for the test of her academic career. [/b][/quote]

Why is this unfortunate?  Why are we treating mental health awareness as if it's a bad thing?  It's GOOD to have a kid on your radar for potential mental health concerns so that they don't slip through the cracks and end up another statistic.  This parent and this child's counselor are now aware that there is an area of concern and can address it.  No, the school will not provide the actual therapy but they can do check ins, be there for the child during the day when they need help, and assist parents in locating the help outside school the child needs.
