And school leaders carry the weight of hundreds or thousands of students' well-being on their shoulders, knowing they can't possibly reach every child who needs support.   In this episode, I'm joined by Iuri Melo, a licensed clinical social worker and founder of School Pulse, to discuss a proactive approach to student mental health that's transforming how schools support their students. After losing seven students to suicide in his Southern Utah community in 2017, Iuri and his team developed a text-based support system that connects students with trained professionals 365 days a year. The service emerged from a principal's desperate plea for tools that could reach students before crisis struck, not just react after tragedy occurred.   Listen in to hear how, through real-time text conversations initiated twice weekly, School Pulse creates a bridge between students and support that feels safe, accessible, and immediate.   Find the full episode show notes and transcript, click here: https://angelakellycoaching.com/391
