For schools
Catch the signals of distress — before a crisis
MindGuard gives K-12 counselling teams early-signal support that respects student consent, parent involvement and your compliance obligations.
The problem K-12 teams face
The signals are there. The capacity to see them in time is not.
🧭
One counsellor, hundreds of students
The national counsellor-to-student ratio is roughly 1:400. Meaningful check-ins with every student is not possible — signals get missed until it is too late.
🔄
Response is often reactive
Around 90% of youth who die by suicide have shown warning signs. The problem is not the absence of signals — it is surfacing them in time.
⚖️
New rules, new responsibilities
Schools increasingly run digital wellbeing programmes under COPPA, FERPA and state data-privacy rules. Consent and compliance are non-negotiable.

How MindGuard helps
📋
Consent that runs itself
Upload your roster once. MindGuard detects minors, sends signed consent requests to the right parent or guardian, tracks every response and handles reminders and expiry.
🩺
Early-signal summaries for counsellors
For consented students, counsellors see a rolling risk view with low / moderate / high / critical tiers — a structured starting point for a real conversation.
🧾
A defensible audit trail
Every consent event — sent, opened, accepted, declined, revoked — is timestamped and immutable. You can show exactly what was consented to and when.
🔐
COPPA and FERPA aware by design
Minors are routed through parental consent. Student PII is encrypted at rest, analysed content is not stored between sessions, and data never leaves your school without permission.
Built for COPPA and FERPA
- Minors can only participate with verified parental consent
- Age-of-majority threshold configurable per institution
- Student records treated as education records
- Consent revocation is one click and takes effect immediately
Administrator-friendly
- Bulk roster upload with validation and downloadable error report
- Consent tracker with filters, search, bulk resend and CSV export
- Reminders at day 3 and day 7, automatic expiry at day 30
- Data Processing Agreement available for your records
