A Strong Research Foundation,
Proven Results
ESS is helping districts reinvent the way school-based mental health care is delivered- and we have the research foundations and the data to prove it.
All ESS clinical care is grounded firmly in research-driven best practices. We constantly monitor the ever-evolving state of clinical care and have a powerful training approach to keep our staff members current.
In addition, ESS tracks data on every student who has received our services, collecting objective measurements about the impact that our programming has on student mental health.
The effectiveness of our comprehensive clinical
programming is demonstrated in our results.

A Symphony of Interventions
ESS clinical programs have been uniquely designed as a “symphony” of interventions
working together to provide a powerful level of care for students with the most
intensive mental health needs. All interventions used in the ESS therapeutic care
model have a strong basis in research. An independent study by IESD, a third party
research firm, discusses the most effective approaches to treatment of students with
mental health challenges and how ESS clinical programming aligns with their findings.

I cannot even begin to share the value that this program for students with autism has brought to the Special Education department and to the students as a whole. In this district, we do everything in our power to ensure students’ success. With this program, I can honestly say that, as a district, as a department, we are preparing our students for the future. I cannot thank you and your staff enough.
