The EHS goal is to build collaborative relationships with schools and community resources to address the mental health and school success of children and adolescents. It promotes the development and implementation of effective programs to enhance well-being and reduce any mental health barriers to learning. Our services include:

​

• Counseling/therapy - an alternative approach focusing on a student’s strengths and dealing directly with a student’s school issues. Our team includes trained mental health case managers, licensed social workers and therapists. 

• Early intervention - action without delay when a behavior is identified that could lead to a student dropping out, failing or being suspended.

• Real-time intervention - when an emergency situation occurs at school, the student’s therapist and case manager are on site to immediately solve issues.

• Consultative support - consultation to parents, teachers, staff, administrators and parents who need advice or help in dealing with a student’s behavior.

• Resource connection - connecting students with clinical services, extracurricular activities, and community resources that could positively impact their well-being and promote personal adjustment and growth. 

• Mental health and substance abuse assessments - done at school or in the community within 24 hours by a licensed therapist. 

• CPST/Case Management services

• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - specially trained staff counsel students suffering from trauma.

• Solution-Focused Therapy - Solution focused therapy helps individuals identify and enhance their strengths and resources to overcome their problems. Therapists prioritize clients' goals and support them in taking achievable steps to reach those goals. 

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy - Designed for individuals grappling with emotional dysregulation and related issues, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers valuable skills to manage emotions and enhance quality of life. This holistic approach, encompassing mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation, is highly regarded by mental health professionals and individuals seeking to improve their well-being.
