School and Community Programs
Program Outcomes
About Our Outcomes
School and Community Programs utilize interventions that are grounded in scientific research and proven to help children and adolescents with mental health.
Since 2012, we have engaged nearly 2.1 million students, parents, teachers, and mental health professionals across over 9,000 schools in New York City, the San Francisco Bay Area, and across the United States. We gather our own data before and after each intervention to evaluate the impact of our programs on students.

- Students in our mood disorder and trauma treatment groups report decreases in symptoms of depression and PTSD.
- Students in our reading intervention groups experience significant increases in reading abilities.
- Students who participate in our behavioral treatment groups see gains in appropriate behavior, and their teachers report decreases in behavioral and emotional difficulties.
