The TeenScreen National Center for Mental Health Checkups is an evidence-based, national mental health and suicide risk screening program. The program helps communities in the United States establish early identification programs. Through these programs, families are offered the opportunity for their teens to participate in a screening for mental health problems, such as depression and other suicide risk factors. TeenScreen National Center for Mental Health Checkups began its first pilots in 1999, training sites in Indiana, New Hampshire, and Oklahoma. The national initiative to offer voluntary screening for depression and suicide risk to every American teenager was launched in 2003 by leaders in adolescent health and education. As of 2008, TeenScreen National Center for Mental Health Checkups has over 500 active screening sites in 43 states in the U.S., plus 3 additional countries. Screening is voluntary and offered through schools, clinics, doctors' offices, juvenile justice facilities, and other youth-serving organizations and settings.
