Case Study: Gilbert Unified School District strengthens student mental health support with GoGuardian Beacon

How Gilbert Unified School District Used GoGuardian Beacon to Strengthen Mental Health Support

Gilbert Unified School District faced the challenge of balancing student technology use with online safety and the need for early intervention in student mental health crises. To address this, they implemented GoGuardian Beacon, a student safety platform designed to proactively identify at-risk students through their online activity.

The solution from GoGuardian provided an alert system that notifies staff of potentially harmful student searches, enabling immediate intervention. This resulted in life-saving actions, including one specific instance where a student's life was saved following an alert. The measurable impact of the GoGuardian solution is substantial, having prevented an estimated 18,623 instances of student physical harm since March 2020.
