Achieving the Promise: Transforming Mental Health Care in America |
Goal 4: Early Mental Health Screening, Assessment, and Referral to Services Are Common Practice
Recommendations
4.1 Promote the mental health of young children.
4.2 Improve and expand school mental health programs.
4.3 Screen for co-occurring mental and substance use disorders and link with integrated treatment strategies.
4.4 Screen for mental disorders in primary health care, across the life span, and connect to treatment and supports.
Again, some commission recommendation that is vague and has no force of law.
If Bush adopts a proposal to screen all folks like WND says will happen, then we should be concerned, not when some impotent commission reports its recommendations.
