Take the Muscle Car!

"Last summer we were introduced to SchoolPulse. When reviewing their services, they demonstrated that they can provide support in a way which preserves the privacy and dignity of those in need. We decided to take a chance and gave them a try.

During the course of the school year, SchoolPulse had 18,000 positive interactions with students and parents in our secondary schools. This included students communicating suicidal ideation, sexual abuse, and other significant traumatic events and ongoing concerns. The students communicating through this platform are now receiving the support they need. These interactions are from students who likely would have never visited the counseling office. Even if the students were willing to seek help from our counselors, there is no way our counseling team could have addressed the additional 18,000 student concerns on top of their already overwhelming schedule to address student needs. These students did not want the stigma of being "the kid needing services" on them. They did not want their peers to tease/bully them about needing to visit a counselor. They did not feel they had a trusted adult or significant other to confide in. These interactions would have never taken place if SchoolPulse was not accessible to our students.

The online access platform of SchoolPulse allows students to scan a QR code in confidence with their cell phone and engage in anonymous texting interactions where it is comfortable for students when they are in need (7 Days a week), without making an appointment, and receive help from trained professionals who guide and support them during their struggles.The data we receive from them has shown that when our students interact with their team, they are able to raise their level of well being by 50% through these positive and encouraging interactions.

SchoolPulse is a great source of support which we believe has significantly contributed to improving the mental health and well being of students in need. Thank you!!"
