Mental health screening is paramount to our work as practitioners, except all too often we are seeing patients when signs and symptoms are starting to become acute. Baseline information can help us engage in meaningful conversations with parents and show meaningful progress. Traditionally, this information is collected in a series of face to face appointments through conversation. Today’s teens, however, are harder and harder to reach through clinical conversation alone. Having a tool that they can engage in to report family and social disruption, personal feelings, anxiousness, depression and more, is vital to the therapeutic process.

futuresTHIRVE asks questions that are not routinely addressed in wellness visits and helps identify early mental health warning signs before they become severe. The screening can also be completed at home ahead of visits, which allows more time in the office to find solutions/create a plan if they are needed.  

Today’s measures are dated. They are still largely given as paper and pencil tools. And they do not meet kids where they are today. futuresTHRIVE has created a solution that we embrace. In streamlining assessment for Adverse Childhood Experiences, Positive Childhood Experiences, Anxiety, Depression, Relationships, Routines, risk factors, protective factors and more our teams can learn a maximum amount in less time. Further the collection of non-verbal communication is revolutionary.
