Those who are showing symptoms of depression.

It is used to track symptoms and is a gauge to understand the severity of symptomsSlide4

How does this align with our needs – in our professional practice

We would use this to decide if a student needs referred to a licensed mental health professional (school psychologist)

We would not use this to diagnose, instead use it to determine the severity of the situation

*This addresses 3 and 5 on rubricSlide5
