Gaggle

Gaggle uses a powerful combination of technology and human intelligence to provide real-time monitoring of student activity on school-provided digital accounts and platforms. We keep watch over content students produce through their school-issued accounts within Google Workspace for Education, Microsoft 365, Google Chat, Microsoft Teams, and the Canvas learning management system to help districts identify students who are in need of help. Gaggle proactively alerts school officials when students show signs of self-harm, depression, thoughts of suicide, substance abuse, cyberbullying, unhealthy relationships, and credible threats of violence against others. We offer administrators, teachers, and parents the peace of mind that students are being protected—24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. 

 

Our safe, confidential digital tipline encourages students to report concerns about bullying, suicide, self-harm, drug or alcohol abuse, and other threats. This solution allows school districts to create a safe environment where students are compelled to SpeakUp for Safety without feeling as though they will get themselves or their peers in trouble. Rest assured that students’ concerns are being looked into by professionals, 24/7/365. In the most severe cases, Gaggle will initiate a wellness check. 

 

By partnering with web filtering platforms—including ContentKeeper, Linewize, Lightspeed Relay, and more—our integrated solution helps districts protect students around the clock. Our solution helps to eliminate the pressure and workload on IT administrators and staff so they no longer need to deal with false alerts, review items at night and on weekends, or worry about missing potential issues with life-threatening consequences. Concerning student situations will be categorized in terms of severity, and the Gaggle Safety team will immediately notify the district’s specified emergency contact by phone if an alert shows an imminent threat to a student’s life or well-being.

 

For years, Gaggle has been helping schools prevent tragedies by identifying kids in crisis. Now we want to be part of the solution. Gaggle Therapy partners school districts with mental health professionals who stand ready to support struggling students through weekly video sessions. Each therapy session takes place over a secure HIPAA-compliant video call, making it easy and accessible for students to meet with their therapist. Students who access therapy show a multitude of positive outcomes and are less likely to engage in risky behaviors, such as substance misuse, bullying, and self-harm. 

 

Our solutions are developed to effectively notify designated emergency contacts to ensure student safety and well-being. This course is designed to educate emergency contacts so they can respond confidently and appropriately to student safety incidents. Equip educators with the means to effectively respond to student safety concerns and identify the best way to address any issue—from a minor policy violation to a threat of imminent harm.
