Our Programs
Three evidence-based programs ranging from universal education to crisis response
Collaborative planning. Dynamic training options. High-quality, inclusive materials. Ongoing support.
These are the features that set the TRAILS model apart. Applying the latest research from the field of implementation science, we partner with schools to determine which programs are right for them, guide their staff through training, and provide everything they need—from lesson plans to support calls—to deliver and sustain programming long-term.
Aligned with the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework common in schools nationwide, our programs are flexible, modular, and designed to complement services schools may already have in place.
TRAILS is the best evidence-based model we have for K-12 mental health services in the United States.
