Emily had such a fun day working with this fantastic group of school counselors. Made even more special, because their exemplary work was featured in our second edition of Making MTSS Work. It was so much fun to show them the final published version and share that the work they do every day is making a difference in schools around the country.

Over the years, we have been lucky to work with ESC-Region 19 in El Paso, TX. Not only have we built amazing relationships, but we have helped teams build tiered systems of support focused on mental health and social/emotional skills!

School counseling & MTSS require deep collaboration with our stakeholders. We facilitated a training recently- examining collaboration barriers and how to problem solve. Really impressed with their ideas and work to improve systems and advocate!
