Partners

Sharpen is a proud partners of the CAT-MH® suite of validated measures which leverage computerized adaptive testing (CAT) and multidimensional item response theory to provide accurate and precise severity measurement for a variety of mental and behavioral health disorders. Validated against structured clinical diagnostic interviews, the CAT-MH® adaptively administers questions from large item banks, selecting optimal questions based on the respondent's severity level. It assigns heavier weights to the severity of questions indicative of more pronounced symptoms. In a fraction of the time required for a complete diagnostic interview, partners gain a comprehensive understanding of the respondent's mental health. This enables quick identification of areas that necessitate further assessment. The CAT-MH® can assess for depression, anxiety, suicidality, PTSD, SUD, and other related conditions.

In a digital world, pen and paper assessments are not only a thing of the past but lack the capability to provide the information needed to act quickly and efficiently.

The SC School Behavioral Health Academy is being developed in recognition of the significant accomplishments of John H. Magill, former State Director of the Department of Mental Health, who has played an instrumental and continuing role in developing effective child, adolescent and school mental health programs in our state, earning national acclaim.

In addition to instrumental support provided to this project by former state director of the South Carolina Department of Mental Health (DMH), John Magill, please note this work builds from more than a decade of support and guidance from DMH on effective school behavioral health programming, and the SCSBHA team is grateful for the past and ongoing support from DMH as a national leader on mental health in schools.

Led by school mental health pioneer, Mark Weist, Ph.D., and other psychology faculty at the University of South Carolina (UofSC), the John H. Magill SC School Behavioral Health Academy (SBHA) is a community of learning that will help schools build positive campus cultures and enhance mental health services to students.

The SBHA will train personnel in creating safe schools, responding to crises, science-based approaches to counseling, whole-school approaches to preventing mental health and behavioral problems, among many other topics. Training experiences and coaching will evolve based on the preferences and needs of SC communities, which are being assessed through a statewide needs assessment.

After the training, districts receive Sharpen toolkits – customized with mental health literacy resources for parents, educators and youth.
