Mitigating ACEs through Mental and Behavioral Science 

As the foremost leader in school-based behavior and therapy services, Invo delivers unparalleled support to our district partners.

IMPACT is a revolutionary program that highlights the critical importance of understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) at the student level. We recognize that high ACE scores can significantly increase the risk of maladaptive behaviors, placing students at greater risk in the classroom.

Across the country, we support students with significant trauma scores who often struggle academically and are identified as Tier 2 or Tier 3 students. Our program equips these students with effective treatment strategies that can be seamlessly integrated into their classroom experiences, fostering both academic and behavioral success. Through our Integrated Multidisciplinary Program, we empower students to overcome challenges and achieve remarkable outcomes.

What are Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 interventions in education?

Tier 1: Universal or core instruction

Tier 2: Targeted or strategic instruction/intervention

Tier 3: Intensive instruction/intervention

What Our School Partners and Parents Say About IMPACT

 "Having IMPACT on our campus has proven to be an invaluable resource.  IMPACT has provided a safe space for our students who needed additional support beyond the classroom.  As a result, the transformational changes that we have witnessed is a testament to the work and commitment of our IMPACT team. Their presence on our campus reverberates with every positive interaction they have with all of our community members.  We are thankful for the work they continue to do and the lives they continue to impact."

-J.R. Assistant Middle School Principal in Nevada  

"I want to express my appreciation for the dedication and effort put into implementing this program. It has made a significant difference in the lives of our students, particularly those faced by economic challenges. By providing accessible, holistic, and culturally responsive support, we can create a school environment where all students can thrive. "

-M.S., Elementary Principal in Nevada  

"IMPACT puts processes and procedures in place that have kept the students consistent and calm, enabling them to make progress. The staff also maintain communication with the administration at our school ensuring we are aware of the progress of our students."

-K.R., High School Principal in Nevada  

"IMPACT has been a wonderful resource to have on campus for our students. We have so many students at our school that have experienced trauma and have no tools to express it or ask for help. In addition, most educators are not trained in how to support a student who is suffering from mental health crises. Being able to defer to mental health and behavior professionals has really enabled us to address the needs of our students that in the past would often be overlooked. The IMPACT team has also alleviated a huge burden that was on our counselor's shoulders. They are such a valuable part of our team and I know they are impacting our students in positive ways!"

-C.R., Elementary Principal in Nevada  

"The IMPACT program has changed my daughter's life."

-H.G., Parent of an IMPACT student in Florida  

"Every school district need an IMPACT program. I cannot put into words how much improvement my child has shown. I love how the team communicates with me and I feel great knowing my son is at school and learning"

-L.O., Parent of an IMPACT student in Florida  

"This program has given my student a second chance to reach his potential."

-J.O., Parent of an IMPACT student in Florida  

"This program has changed my son's life for the better, he is attending school and making friends. He decided not to drop out and graduate."

-K.P., Parent of an IMPACT student in CA  

"This program has been a lifesaver for my family."

-J.B., Parent of an IMPACT student in Florida  

IMPACT: Transforming Lives Through Integrated Support for At-Risk Youth 

IMPACT is Invo's groundbreaking Multidisciplinary Program designed to address childhood trauma through a remarkable integrated approach. In response to the urgent need for effective resources, we are partnering with elementary, middle, and high schools nationwide to support teachers and administrators in helping high-needs, at-risk youth. Students facing significant trauma are at a greater risk for adverse outcomes, including higher dropout rates, increased violence, chronic health issues, substance abuse, and even early death.


What sets IMPACT apart is its unique collaboration between experts in both mental health and behavioral science.

By cross-training staff and employing an integrated approach, we treat the whole child, leaving no aspect of their well-being unaddressed. This innovative model is implemented directly on school campuses, eliminating family barriers to treatment and ensuring consistent, accessible support.
