BrainDash Counselor Dashboard

Between data and
action is meaning.

BrainDash™ helps schools understand what data about student mental health, social-emotional development, and behavior actually means, so responses are calm, shared, and proportionate.

Built for measured decisions in everyday school practice.

Trust & Safety FAQs

Our Commitments to Schools

  • No single source tells the story. BrainDash brings multiple inputs together so understanding is not based on one moment or one data point.

  • People make the decisions. BrainDash supports professional judgment. It does not label students or make determinations.

  • Schools stay in control. You decide what data is included, who has access, and how information is interpreted.

  • Patterns matter more than spikes. The platform is designed to support understanding over time, not reaction to one-off moments.

 

These commitments are supported by our Trust & Safety standards, including COPPA-aligned data and governance practices.

Student Well-Being Shapes Readiness


Changes in student well-being rarely happen all at once. They build quietly over time, long before they disrupt learning, behavior, or attendance. When emerging social and emotional challenges are hard to interpret, schools are forced to respond later, under pressure, with fewer options. That’s when decisions become reactive instead of intentional.

This is what we mean by protecting readiness.

Protecting readiness means understanding change early enough to respond calmly, within existing capacity, before pressure forces escalation. It’s not about acting on everything sooner. It’s about understanding patterns well enough to act deliberately.

Because the best gift schools give students is readiness for what comes next.

 

The difficult realities schools are navigating today

From real conversations with school leaders, counselors, and student life teams.

 

There’s no place to put things together - surveys, observations -they’re all in different places, so I have to compile them all before check-ins.
School Counselor
Even with strong SEL programs, we’re still missing kids. A tool that spots the invisible ones early is exactly what schools need.
School Leader
If I had earlier signals, I could offer tools and support before things escalate. I could go from reacting to actually preventing.”
School Counselor
We’re often reacting, not preventing. If this helps us shift, that’s meaningful.
School Leader
There’s just not enough we do for kids in this area. We’re trying everything from therapy dogs to morning check-ins...to help them feel seen. I’m glad you’re building something like this.
School Leader
Everything becomes a crisis. My day gets derailed constantly. If I had something that flowed multiple data points easily to me, that would absolutely make my job easier.
School Counselor
We have all this data—attendance, grades, behavior—but we don’t have time to connect the dots. That’s where something like BrainDash becomes powerful. If it can help us catch students before they’re in crisis, that’s not just helpful - it’s essential.
School Leader
We’re always playing catch-up. If something can help us get ahead and get kids help when they need it, that’s the game-changer.
School Leader
Middle schoolers do not want to ask teachers for permission to see me. They don’t want to be singled out, so they don’t come.
School Counselor
I could actually organize my day, spend more time in classrooms, build relationships, and observe more.
School Counselor
