2022 NDM-Universal Screenings as a Tool for Child Well-Being

Kerrie Schnake, South Carolina Infant Mental Health Association (SCIMHA); Kerry Sease, MD, Prisma Health; and Kristine Hobbs, SC Department of Health and Human Services
Universal screening has the potential to serve as a powerful tool for connecting families with appropriate services, but how can we ensure they don’t become just another checkbox? This session will focus on the use of screening related to social determinants of health, mental health concerns, and the Help Me Grow model. The conversation will also touch on next steps for universal screening, particularly as we emerge from this health crisis.
