Proven Results

Students receiving mental health services from our training programs show an increase in coping skills and emotion regulation and a decrease in symptoms of PTSD, depression, and behavioral difficulties. Ninety-five percent of trainees said they would recommend this training program to school staff.

250+schools served
1,000+educators and mental health professionals trained
50,000+students reached

It is rare to find a resource that takes into account the needs of the school environment while also using evidence-based mental health tools. Before getting connected with the Child Mind Institute, it was challenging to find high quality training and curriculum for mental health skill-building that is specifically designed to be used by school professionals who do not have a clinical background… even better that it was developed in English and Spanish which is a must for our community!

My students developed a sense of relief when they understood that having “big feelings” is not unusual when one has experienced trauma.  The coping cards have been a priceless tool in helping my them stay connected in the “here and now” and knowing that they are safe.  I have also shared the strategies with parents so they can be practiced at home in fun ways.
