A counsellor's call, in time: a mental health app for every student.
An international IB school in Mumbai rolled out a mental health and wellbeing app to every one of its students, with Kaam. A student app in three languages, a counsellor app with a clock on every flag, and a school dashboard with 24 indicators. Any self-harm answer raises a flag, whatever the score.

The indicator: every red flag acknowledged inside 4 working hours · Tele-MANAS 14416
A school's counsellors see each student rarely, and the students who need help most are found late. A teacher notices a change and has nowhere to record it, and the school cannot see how its students are doing between visits.
A student who needs help gets a call from their counsellor in time.
