Problem
Schools often struggle to efficiently identify and support students at risk for mental health issues due to limited staff and resources. Traditional methods of identifying these students can be reactive and may not provide a comprehensive understanding of their needs. This can lead to delayed interventions and hinder student success.
Solution
Maro provides a platform for schools and districts to implement a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) that facilitates early identification and intervention for students' mental health needs. The platform includes tools for screening students, managing interventions, and connecting families with resources. By using digital surveys, schools can efficiently screen their student population for emotional health, behavioral health, and safety risks. The platform also offers a connected family app that provides educational content, symptom journaling, and easy access to consent forms, promoting family engagement in student well-being.
Target Audience
Maro primarily targets K-12 school districts and schools seeking to implement a multi-tiered system of support for student mental health, as well as families looking for resources to support their children's mental well-being.
