ATMAN Assessments

The assessments are an important part of ATMAN intervention. The assessments are done at three time points in addition to a brief assessment at the start of each session to monitor suicidal thoughts. Pre-intervention assessment allows the facilitator to know the background of the young person, evaluate their mental state, strengths and likely challenges during the course of the treatment; mid-intervention assessment allows to know if the treatment is progressing in the right direction; and the post-intervention assessment helps in understanding the overall improvement and to decide on a follow-up plan.
