Mental Health in Schools Act aims to improve student mental health outcomes through screenings and services.

The Mental Health in Schools Act establishes an annual mental health screening program for students in grades six through twelve in South Carolina. The program, created within the State Department of Education, aims to identify students with unmet mental and behavioral health needs and provide them with resources and referrals. Participating schools must administer the screenings using an evidence-based tool and notify parents or guardians of the results.
