Effective mental health services, accessible in all schools

We equip school staff with the training and resources they need to provide evidence-based and culturally responsible programming to their students.

A role for every adult in the school community

School staff are often the first to notice when students are struggling. TRAILS makes sure they have the right tools and support to respond.

Who We Are

Three best-in-class programs, one unified approach

After training, schools receive ongoing access to all materials for their chosen programs, workshops to deepen their learning, technical assistance, and more.

Programs Overview

Research and inclusive design are the foundations of the TRAILS model.

  • Culturally Responsible

    We design, supplement, and continuously improve our programs to ensure they’re effective for all students across differences in identity and experience.

  • Built for the Real World

    Feedback, evaluation, and practices grounded in implementation science keep our programs easy to deliver and sustain.

  • Evidence-Based

    Incubated at the University of Michigan Medical School, the TRAILS model is driven by current empirical research in education and mental health.

We all have a role to play in helping students thrive.

School staff can make a life-changing and life-saving difference for their students—but they need the support of local advocates and leaders in mental health, education, and policy. Help us drive change at the systems level by expanding the reach of TRAILS programs.

Help students build skills to cope with life’s challenges.
