AssessFAST™ FOR SCHOOLS
Improving Mental Health in our Schools
Recent tragedies in schools are linked to mental health disorders and are devastating to students, parents, teachers and school administrators–our entire community.
AssessFAST was developed to help Identify at-risk students early in their development so they can get the treatment they so desperately need.
AssessFAST provides a solution for simple, early assessment of children and teens to help determine those who may be at risk.
AssessFAST is a sophisticated tablet-based risk assessment tool that effectively screens students for risk of bullying, depression and suicide. The multiple-choice tests are taken by the student on a computer or tablet, administered by the school and can be completed in just a few minutes.
Your students will tell us what they won't tell you.
Studies have proven that people are more likely to be honest when completing a questionnaire on a tablet than in speaking to someone. AssessFAST is an effective way to ensure your students are safe, healthy and thriving in their learning environment.
