This company claims to do SEL one better (on their website they say, &#8220;Advance beyond SEL&#8221;). The platform, targeting school districts in the U.S., offers both mental health screening for students as well as mental health curriculum for schools. The C.E.O. notes a growing demand and a market opportunity as more states legally require mental health screening for students.

They have a partnership with Thread Health, a healthcare provider, to offer doctor consultations.

I also wonder how their curriculum represents an improvement over traditional SEL curriculum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This pitch runs from 5:30 to 9:40 of the video:\u00a0https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9WG7Ry77kKU SEL (social-emotional learning) is an important focus area for many schools right now.
