FAQs

During each 60-second check-in, students answer 5 randomised evidence-based questions from the ARACY framework around common areas of mental health and wellbeing.

Pulse is designed to guide vulnerable students toward the help they need by offering them a choice of trusted staff members to reach out to. Once selected, the chosen staff member receives a discreet email notification, letting them know a student wants to connect. This sensitive approach ensures no young person feels embarrassed or ashamed about asking for help.

Pulse can provide a holistic view of student wellbeing data across all your schools whilst also enabling you to drill down into the wellbeing levels of each individual school.

With Pulse, there’s nothing to install. All we need is a quick conversation with you to set up your portal. Once it’s live, you and any other users will be granted access.

Students can check in via a simple web link, requiring only a stable internet connection to complete the process.

If you’d like students to complete check-ins outside of school hours, they can also install the Pulse app on their personal devices.
