Universal screening is the gateway to precision counseling. This session unpacks recommended tools—such as BASC‑3 BESS, DESSA‑mini, and SDQ—and walks through an eight‑step roadmap: (1) leadership buy‑in, (2) tool selection, (3) consent & communication, (4) logistics, (5) data review teams, (6) tier‑matching, (7) progress monitoring, and (8) continuous improvement. Participants will surface benefits, challenges, and equity considerations (e.g., linguistic access, privacy) and plot next steps for district‑wide rollout that syncs with CYBHI billing and CSCP data dashboards.
