Why Screening Matters?

Mental health struggles often remain hidden until they turn into crises.
Schools are on the front lines, yet often lack the insight and resources to intervene in time.

A Partnership Built on Purpose

Technology is only powerful when it leads to action. A screening alone cannot change a student's life. What happens next can. MARS, developed by MERET Solutions, helps schools identify students who may need additional attention and care. RBHI's Screening Linked to Care approach ensures those students are connected to timely follow-up, resources, and evidence-based support. Together, MERET and RBHI have created a model that transforms mental health screening from a one-time event into a pathway to care - helping schools respond earlier, act with confidence, and reach students before a crisis occurs.

Turning Insight Into Action

A screening is only valuable if it leads to support.
MARS helps RBHI and school staff identify students who may be struggling, prioritize urgent needs, and connect young people to appropriate care.
By enabling rapid triage and coordinated follow-up, MARS helps ensure that every student receives the attention they need and that limited clinical resources are used where they can make the greatest impact.
