Impact
- Intended outcomes: The Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University identified the most common factors of children who develop resilience in the face of significant adversity: responsive adult relationships and self-regulation skills. Closegap was built to facilitate both of these using scalable technology. Closegap tracks a number of impact metrics related to both, in addition to the number of suicides prevented and serious issues surfaced by the tool. Learn more here.
- Demonstrated outcomes: Closegap saves lives by revealing invisible struggles. 80% of staff discovered previously unnoticed students in need, with 20% uncovering severe issues, including suicidal ideation. Beyond crises, the platform identifies upstream issues, with 80% of staff uncovering mild issues and 73% moderate issues among students.
