Q: WHY WOULD A SCHOOL ADOPT THIS PLATFORM?

A: Educators across the country are seeing greater numbers of students experiencing mental and behavioral health issues, schools experiencing greater frequencies of school violence and students lacking resources to meet basic needs. These very serious issues are all related in many ways. School Responder is the ONLY platform in the education space designed to meet the diverse needs of individual students, real-time, while providing schools data to assist in directing resources efficiently and effectively.

Q: GIVEN THE FACT SCHOOL BUDGETS ARE TIGHT, HOW CAN SCHOOLS AFFORD THIS TECHNOLOGY?

A: School Responder is a low-cost solution designed with the understanding that schools face on-going financial challenges. School Responder offers grant writing services and scholarship opportunities to assist schools that struggle financially to help ensure our solution is available to all schools and tight budgets do not become a barrier for implementation.

Q: HOW DO WE KNOW STUDENTS AND STAFF WILL USE THE APPLICATION?

A: School Responder has had great feedback from pilot schools who have implemented the software. One tool that has been added to the School Responder toolbox is the opportunity to broadcast one and two-way communication through the application. This means school announcements and notifications can be made through School Responder which will ensure School Responder does not just become just another downloaded, but never used, phone application.

TESTIMONALS

“I believe in School Responder’s mission to help the kids. In today’s society of extensive social media, bullying, competition and so many other outside of the home factors, it is so difficult to protect children from these negative sources. This platform is there to get kids help during those difficult adolescent years.”

Investor

“Nothing is more heartbreaking than seeing a child suffer when a need is going unmet. I invested because I want to do all I can to help mitigate this issue.”

Investor

“Personally, I identify with and believe in the mission of School Responder. My family has been touched by mental health issues and I would like to be a part of a potential solution to help other families through these difficult issues.”

Investor

“For decades my goal was communicating a music message to help people find happiness. This project has become my new mission. School Responder is about preventing a frown (or worse). It’s about quickly responding to a student in need, a student that is afraid or a student that is hurt. It starts with listening, then responding to those needs with the support of caring adults.”
