About this listen

In this episode of the "Don't Chuck It Up" podcast, host Chuck welcomes Iuri Melo, co-founder of School Pulse, to discuss the critical importance of student mental health and proactive support in education. Melo, a licensed clinical social worker, explains that School Pulse is a proactive service for schools and districts to provide students with resources on positive psychology and a growth mindset, fostering optimism and academic success. Our chat highlights the growing mental health crisis among youth, noting that a significant number of college dropouts are due to mental health issues. Melo advocates for a shift from reactive intervention to proactive prevention, providing students with foundational skills to protect them from depression, anxiety, and suicide. School Pulse offers a multi-tiered solution for schools, students, and families, including live text-based support, video content, and activities that help teachers, parents, and students navigate challenging topics like anxiety, self-harm, and peer issues. Equipping students with these tools at a young age can lead to a healthier and happier adult population. Tune in and learn how optimism and proactive support can help you.
