Effective School Solutions

Effective School Solutions (ESS) is the largest provider of school-based, high-acuity mental health care in the United States, partnering with K-12 school districts to deliver clinically proven mental health and behavioral support programs within school buildings. Founded in 2009, ESS serves over 6,000 students daily across 120+ districts in 12 states, offering programs spanning school-based clinical programming, behavior intervention, school avoidance interventions, crisis response, and professional development for district staff. The company model allows districts to retain at-risk students in their home district rather than placing them in costly out-of-district therapeutic schools.
