One in six students experiences a mental health disorder each year. Not only do undiagnosed, untreated, or inadequately treated mental health issues reduce a student’s ability to learn but these factors also lead to high incidences of future dropout, substance abuse, arrest, incarceration, and unemployment. Robin is a social and emotional learning platform that connects students and teachers to mental health coaches and curriculum designed to improve their mental wellbeing. With the average school counselor-to-student ratio at 461:1, the platform leverage technology to make much-needed support from world-class mental health coaches widely available to school districts. In addition to supporting the needs of students, Robin is also a resource for the educators who are working on a day-to-day basis with their students. Robin tailors curriculums to build skills for students to increase self-esteem, manage anxiety, and build connection. AlleyWatch caught up with Robin CEO and Cofounder Sonny Thadani to learn more about the critical increased accessibility Robin brings to mental health treatment, destigmatizing mental health in schools, the company’s strategic plans, and recent round of funding from investors that include Eagle Proprietary Investments, Limitless Ventures, and Deborah Quazzo.
