HAVEN, Kan. — Haven High School students are taking a screening test to help them socially and emotionally next week.
According to the district, The SAEBRS (Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener) is a brief, norm-referenced tool for screening all students to identify those who are at risk for social-emotional behavior (SEB) problems.
SAEBRS is one of the only SEB universal screening tools built to align with a dual-factor model of student social-emotional functioning, which asserts that mental health should be defined by both the absence of problem behaviors and symptomatology (e.g., internalizing and externalizing behaviors) and the presence of well-being and competencies (e.g., social-emotional skills).
Students will be assessed on Wednesday, September 21.
The district has also provided a link if parents wish to opt their children out of the screening.
