Fund mental health support that works.

Most young people who need help can't get it. TRAILS equips the adults already in schools to change that—sustainably and at scale.

The Current State

Schools are the front line,
and they're stretched thin.

The majority of our youth who need care can't access it. Schools carry more of this need than any other system, and are suffering without the right tools.

Our Approach

We equip every adult, not just specialists.

A thriving mental health environment is built by the teachers, counselors, bus drivers, and coaches with trusted relationships with students. Our approach is evidence-based and evolved from over a decade of results and empowers and trains your existing staff.

Our Commitment

Built to fit a school budget, not strain it.

For decades, mental health support ran through specialists because their time was the only trained time in the building. TRAILS changes what counts as trained time. Now anyone on staff can offer the same support in the moment it's needed.

And, because one platform serves every role — teachers, mental health staff, support staff, and leaders — it does the work districts often piece together from three or four contracts. Schools should never have to choose between a program and a person. TRAILS is priced so you don't have to.

“Now when a student comes into my office, I know exactly what to do that will help – it’s been incredible.”
