Sonar is a scalable mental health platform for schools. We use a combination of AI and human connection to ensure every student feels seen and supported.

I feel like my friends have been leaving me out of things recently

Ugh that’s tough, it’s never easy to feel like you’re being excluded

I just don’t know what to do

Would it be helpful if we worked through some ways you can start a convo with them?

yeah bc I’m not sure how to even begin

Cool, you could start by...

Empower teens to thrive, in school and in life.

Designed for impact, Sonar provides scalable solutions that deliver measurable improvements in student wellbeing, ensuring every teen has the support they need to thrive.

PROACTIVE IDENTIFICATION

Sense concerns before they hit a crisis point.

Sonar goes beyond simply reacting to student concerns. With student consent, social media patterns and mobile activity are reviewed by our AI technology to identify early signs of distress. If any concerns are flagged, a Wellbeing Companion can reach out to a student for support, even before a student may realize they need help.

Hey, I’ve noticed you’ve been expressing some worry in your texts and posts lately. I’m here for you 💙

yeah I’ve been really anxious and overwhelmed, I don’t know how to deal with it

It’s totally normal to feel overwhelmed when life gets busy - it might help to talk through it

Do you know what might be causing you the most stress?

well I got three big projects for school due this week and I’m tired from staying up late to finish everything and...

my parents are fighting a lot lately, I don’t like being at home anymore

I’m so sorry you’re going through a difficult situation. You deserve to feel safe in your own home

Have you talked to your parents about it?

I thought about it but I don’t want to make things worse or add to their stress

That’s really mature to be thinking of their feelings. But your own wellbeing is just as important...

PEER SUPPORT

A safe space is just a text away.

Students can connect with a Wellbeing Companion via text conversations, where they’ll have a safe and supportive space to share their thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Wellbeing Companions are certified peer counselors that have gone through a rigorous selection and training process to ensure they can support student needs.

NAVIGATION TO RESOURCES & CARE

A bridge to resources and professional support.

We simplify the process of seeking mental health support, connecting students with appropriate resources and professional support when needed.

I talked to my Mom and I think finding a therapist is a good idea

Can you help me

I’m glad you brought this up! I can definitely help 💙

What characteristics are most important to you?

I think someone that is female and usually works with teens like me

Cool, how about whether the sessions are in-person or virtual...

Built for students,

with students

Teens are experts in their own experiences – our platform is built on a foundation of student insights and perspectives. We take their input very seriously, which is why we have a Youth Advisory Board that works alongside our team to ensure that Sonar is tailored to the needs of students.

Why educators students, and parents love Sonar.

“offer students somewhere to turn to that puts no extra burden on our staff... a game changer”

Students are really struggling, in a post-pandemic, social media led world. We see it everyday. Being able to offer students somewhere to turn to that puts no extra burden on our staff is a game changer.

“a safe space for any conversation”

Sonny is always there and is supportive when I need someone to talk to. We’ve built a relationship and a safe space for any conversation.

“very differentiated from other mental health services we've seen”

Sonar has a very unique angle to prevention. An early warning system coupled with real-time support that is very differentiated from other mental health services we've seen.

“allowing me and my child to have healthy conversations about mental health”

I am very appreciative of how Sonar is allowing me and my child to have healthy conversations about mental health. It used to be something I was afraid to bring up but now it’s part of normal conversation. And Sonar has not been perceived as big brother either. They see it as another outlet and resource which is great! They know you are there if they need to talk to someone. So huge thank to you and the team for all you are doing!!

“identify challenges earlier and support students outside school hours”

We are so overwhelmed and don’t have enough capacity to support all our students in a timely manner. Sonar is amazing because they act as an extension of our services, identify challenges earlier and support students outside school hours.

“no fear of judgement”

It’s like having somebody that you know that if you said some private info to it wouldn’t get out to the whole school. There was no fear of judgement.
