Problem
Teachers experience high levels of occupational stress, with roughly 30 % approaching burnout, while about 25 % of students report significant psychological strain. This reciprocal pressure often manifests as disruptive classroom behavior, reducing instructional effectiveness and overall school climate.
Solution

The platform tailors activity recommendations to the specific dynamics of each class, requiring no prior training from educators. An integrated feedback loop refines suggestions based on teacher input and observed outcomes, helping educators build actionable coping strategies. The app also provides instant links to external support services, enabling timely referrals when deeper intervention is needed. By streamlining preventive mental‑health practices, veridu aims to lower teacher stress and improve student well‑being without disrupting existing curricula.
