[sSRI-Research] TeenScreen - stop this mental health

screening program

 

 

 

Things that you can do to help stop this mental health screening

program called " TeenScreen " .

 

First, get informed on exactly what this program is all about.

 

Go to:

 

http://www.psychsearch.net/teenscreen.html

 

Did you know that 9 out of 10 patients that go to see a psych end up

on drugs? Did you know that 24% of the kids that are referred from

TeenScreen end up on drugs? Multiply that figure by how many kids

there are in the U.S. (as TeenScreen's goal is to screen every child

in the U.S.) and you find that the pharmaceutical companies stand to

make BILLIONS EACH YEAR with their new found " consumers " .

 

Second, forward these e-mails far and wide to everyone you know.

 

Third, ask your school districts. " Do you have any mental health

screening at any of the schools? " . You may call, write or send

e-mails. You can usually find your Principal's, Superintendent's and

School Board e-mail addresses, mailing address and phone numbers on

the school website. Most schools have a website, they may have a

button that says " Contact Us " , click on that.

 

Keep in mind that we have run across the fact that principals, school

boards and even

superintendents, had no knowledge that this screening was taking place

in their own school. It may be needed to send a couple of e-mails out

or make more then one phone call, include the nurse's office if

possible. Please let me know of ANY responses you get and from whom.

 

Fourth, If you have a website or know someone that does, put a link to:

 

http://www.psychsearch.net/teenscreen.html

 

on the website. The purpose for this is to knock TeenScreen's own

website off of the number one spot. By getting OUR website into that

number one spot we will have more coverage and reach more people. This

is MEGA important!

 

Fifth, after getting informed on TeenScreen yourself, write a letter

to your school district and inform THEM about the dangers of this

program. Please let me know which schools you have enlightened! If you

need help on what to write, just ask.

 

Sixth, if you are interested in REALLY impinging you can write letters

to editors. E-mail me and I can fill you in on how this is done as we

write to key areas. This can be done VERY part-time and can take as

little as 10 to 15 minutes or you can join the ranks of Master Letter

Writer and send as many letters to the editors as we have need for!

 

Seventh, TALK IT UP! Everywhere you go let others know. School

football games, the grocery store, Mother's Club, blogs, chat boards

and forums, PTA meetings, school board meetings...........

DON'T BE SHY! The more that is informed the less chance TeenScreen has

and you may just save a life.

 

Eighth, if you or someone you know has children in the public school

system, go here and print a copy of this " Parental Informed Consent

Notice " :

 

http://www.beverlye.com/consent_20000920.html

 

A copy should be put in your child's personnel folder at the school,

send copies to the teachers that work with your child, the Principal

and the nurse's office.
