MTSS-Aligned Programming

Our Multi-Tiered Systems of Support

The ESS program model is built around our Multi-Tiered Systems of Support for School-Based Mental Health Care and Behavioral Support. This powerful model consists of three tiers of support designed to meet the unique needs of students in the school environment. 

Tier 3

Intensive, In-School Clinical Support For the 3-5% of students with the most severe emotional and behavioral challenges

Tier 2

Moderate Intensity Care For students who have less intensive needs. or who might not be on a school’s radar screen

Tier 1

Professional Development, Coaching and Consulting For educators focused on expanding the mental health and behavioral health toolkit of teachers and school staff.

Professional Development, Coaching and Consulting

Understanding the vital role of prevention-focused mental health support, Effective School Solutions equips educators with the skills to identify student mental health issues, connect them with appropriate care, and understand the impact of trauma on student well-being.

Tier 3

Therapeutic Outplacement Consulting

Effective School Solutions can partner with school districts on a consultative basis to identify students who can be successfully supported in the district and manage a plan for returns.

I often wonder how we were ever able to manage students with high acuity needs without the ESS program in our school. ESS provides necessary support services for students, staff, and parents to enable students to remain in a mainstream educational setting with their peers.
