Mental wellness rollout Epcschools partners with Starling Minds to provide 24/7 confidential mental fitness resources to 19,000 school district staff across Ohio, highlighting a target audience of district-level administrators and district-wide initiatives for well-being.

Scaling with EPC As Southwestern Ohio Educational Purchasing Council serves 110 school districts and 19,000 professionals, there is an opportunity to position Starling Minds as a district-wide or EPC member benefit across multiple districts, driving broad adoption and centralized procurement.

Strategic partnerships The collaboration indicates openness to vendor partnerships that support educator well-being; sales conversations can leverage existing positive relationships with EPC Schools and explore complementary services (professional development, stress management, classroom behavior supports).

Technology integration Current tech stack (WordPress, Office 365, a data/analytics layer) suggests potential for seamless integration with district IT ecosystems; propose onboarding that emphasizes single sign-on, data privacy, and analytics usage to demonstrate impact at scale.

Expansion potential Similar districts shown in the market data (Cincinnati Public Schools, Lakota Local, etc.) imply opportunity to expand the mental fitness program to neighboring districts in the Cincinnati region and beyond, leveraging EPC Schools as a gateway to adjacent entities.
