Our Research

PASS was a school based mental health prevention and early intervention program for children in pre-kindergarten through third grade.  Our team collaborated with four social service agencies on a school-based prevention and early intervention program for youth in K-3rd grade living in impoverished communities in Chicago (approximately n=700).  PASS services focused on six key skills related to positive parenting and how to support children’s learning.  These services were delivered by non-traditional providers called School-Family Liaisons (SFLs) who are supervised by mental health clinicians.
