Episode 111: Iuri Melo, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Author, and Cofounder of SchoolPulse
Description
Iuri Melo was inspired to look for a solution to a rash of teen suicides in his community in Utah seven years ago. SchoolPulse (https://schoolpulse.org/) is a proactive, text-based student support service available throughout the United States that texts students evidence-based, cognitive behavioral skills and strategies twice a week. This approach provides students with anonymity, confidentiality, convenience, and privacy that results in honest interactions and leads to effective prevention. Students have 24/7 access to adults who partner with both schools and parents. No matter who you are, you will want to learn about SchoolPulse and share it with your friends, neighbors, schools, school boards, and school districts. Iuri has also authored two books, Mind Over Grey Matter (https://a.co/d/iwJnHSI) and Know Thy Selfie (https://a.co/d/flHwGeB).
