Licensed counselors & social workers make up the ECHO staff, who work with students every day in their schools. This regular interaction helps the ECHO staff to gain valuable insights, build relationships with children and families, and effectively provide counseling services.

ECHO provides a variety of services that are tailored to students' needs at each school the program serves. In addition to providing counseling services, ECHO therapists focus on prevention by using a social & emotional curriculum called Second Step. Students learn empathy, emotion management and problem solving. These are tools the students can carry with them throughout their life. Other services provided by ECHO include professional development for teachers and school administrators, curriculum about personal safety and drug prevention, and Peacemakers, a student leadership service group.

ECHO strives to be recognized nationally as the premier provider of social and emotional services to children in a growing number of schools. Its mission is to partner with faith-based and public schools to provide innovative social and emotional services by empowering all children and families, particularly the underserved, with skills for life.
