The Education Concierge Podcast - Season 10Stop Being a Fire Extinguisher: How School Pulse is Building Mental Fitness in Schools
Host: Benita G.
Guest: Yuri, Founder of School Pulse
After witnessing seven student suicides in his community, clinical social worker Yuri created School Pulse to shift schools from reactive crisis mode to proactive prevention. In this conversation, we explore why mental fitness matters more than crisis intervention and how text-based support with real people is transforming student wellbeing.
You'll hear about:
- Why waiting for crisis isn't working and how to build protective factors instead
- The 5:1 ratio: students need 5 positive interactions for every 1 negative to thrive
- How School Pulse sends proactive texts twice weekly with live support responding
- Navigating cultural barriers to mental health in ethnic communities
- The "two-touch" solution that helps schools without adding educator workload
Key Quote: "Your psychology is everything. The way you perceive things matters more than the things themselves."
