Early Intervention Careers: Supporting Mental Health Screening Month
October is Depression and Mental Health Screening Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of early identification and support for mental health conditions. We know that early intervention can make all the difference—for students, families, and communities. Our professionals are at the heart of that life-changing work.
The Power of Early Intervention
Mental health screenings are often the first step in identifying depression, anxiety, or other conditions that might otherwise go unnoticed. Screenings provide critical insight into an individual’s well-being and open the door to the care and resources they need. Our school-based staff, clinicians, direct support professionals, and behavioral health staff ensure that screenings are meaningful and actionable, connecting individuals to the right interventions and supports.
Early intervention doesn’t just benefit those we serve—it benefits our employees too. Working in these roles gives you the opportunity to see tangible impact in real time, develop your clinical or support skills, and contribute to healthier, stronger communities.

Collective Action is Powerful
As we work together with colleagues, educators, and communities, we send a clear message that seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. By participating in this shared mission, employees help break down barriers that keep people from accessing the care they deserve.
Together, we foster open dialogue, promote understanding, and create safe spaces where individuals feel empowered to ask for help. The result is a ripple effect that reaches far beyond our clinics, communities and classrooms, changing attitudes, reducing shame, and inspiring hope. For those passionate about advocacy and community impact, there is no greater reward than contributing to a culture where every voice matters and every journey is respected.
“I love how we prioritize meeting clients where they’re at. Sometimes this means picking up kids from school, meeting in the community, or even meeting them in their homes. I appreciate how adaptive we make our services. Sometimes we spend a session helping clients access resources, other times we focus on developing skills, and often we are helping clients navigate their relationships. I never feel like I am ‘stuck inside a box’ but instead have the space to be creative and adapt services to the unique needs of my clients each day.” – Mattelyn Wadley, Community Programs Supervisor and Clinical Therapist
