Internalization can lead to a host of mental health concerns in children, which is why we need to screen and intervene early on. The problem that remains is how do schools select the best screening process in order to make that possible?

This presentation makes the case for BIMAS-2 and its proven effectiveness in real cases. Since many students who internalize behavioral problems use academic performance as a coping mechanism, it can be difficult to identify them as at-risk. By using data-based decision-making in our system, we aim to drastically reduce the number of students that aren’t being helped.
