Screening Tools for EDs

This section provides PMHCAs with pediatric-specific screening tools, referral workflows, and checklists that can be shared with EDs to strengthen mental health screening and triage.

By utilizing these resources, PMHCAs can help ED teams quickly identify mental health concerns, apply risk-based referral pathways, and integrate evidence-based tools into everyday workflows. These materials are designed to streamline triage, enhance discharge planning, and improve communication across systems, ensuring that each child receives timely, coordinated, and safe care.
