Our mission is to support youth and families in maximizing their potential and enhancing their wellness in the environments of school, family, and community through advocacy, mental health services, and education.

This program of the ESC provides mental health services to youth who are vulnerable to school failure due to personal, family, social emotional, academic, and/or environmental issues. The program’s purpose is to help students address non-academic issues that interfere with success in the learning process. Services provided in a natural and familiar environment, the school, enable children to utilize their greatest potential; this provides better access to services, less time away from school for community appointments, and the ability to collaborate more fully with teachers, guidance counselors and administrators. Our services include:

Diagnostic Assessment
Individual, Family & Group Therapy
Community Support
Collaboration
Education
