We envision a major shift in how mental health issues affect learning as a barrier, and how they are addressed in schools. Clayful’s mission is to make a meaningful impact on attendance, behavior, anxiety, depression, self-regulation, confidence, connectedness, resilience, and hope among students, as many of these impact school safety, school culture, and academic performance.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

Clayful saw a need to help students grapple with growing mental health challenges in recent years, such as social media pressures, test anxiety, and bullying. There is a large gap in accessible health resources for youth due to a nationwide shortage of school counselors. Clayful was founded to deliver instant, effective mental health tools that meets students where & when they need support.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

Clayful operates as more than a platform; it's a sanctuary where students can engage in meaningful, inclusive conversations, whether they're discussing school safety, dating, academic pressures, or their lives on social media. The platform connects students to a certified mental health coach within 60 seconds and provides immediate access to live wellness resources. It was designed to be proactive and preventative, providing fast access to support when a student is triggered before they make any bad decisions, championing a culture of empathy, responsible decision-making, and mental wellness.

Clayful is not only a response to these modern stressors but also to tackle pressing issues faced by many students - a dynamic space that adapts to the evolving digital behaviors of students, offering real-time solutions to real-life issues, promoting a healthier, more supportive online community for all.

How has it been spreading?

Clayful has been expanding through partnerships with U.S. school districts, adopted by educational institutions seeking reliable mental health solutions.

In January, Clayful’s customers were recognized across several articles and broadcast spots to in Grand Rapids, MI; San Francisco and Sacramento, CA; and Lassen, CA to boost regional awareness and adoption, We also actively participated in events, including the AASA NCE 2024 conference, engaging directly with school superintendents and key decision-makers in education. Clayful has attended multiple events across the country in order to reach key stakeholders who are eager to make a dent in their students’ mental health, including the CALSA Conference, the SSDA Conference, CAAPLE Annual Conference, and the MASA Safety Summit this year.

If I want to try it, what should I do?
