What Makes Us Different
What Makes Us Different
Compass Community Services is fully embedded within school buildings.
We work side-by-side with administrators, teachers, counselors, and families to strengthen student functioning and improve school-based outcomes.
Our approach integrates counseling, behavioral consultation, executive-function coaching, and structured mentorship into a cohesive support model aligned with district needs.
Compass Community Services does not provide outpatient therapy, private practice counseling, crisis intervention, or emergency services.
