Partnering to Boost Behavioral and Social-Emotional Health
Actionaly collaborates with Ohio-based Terrace Metrics to transform how schools measure and manage social-emotional learning (SEL) and behavioral health risks.
Partnership Overview
The partnership merges Actionaly's multi-channel communication platform with Terrace Metrics' assessment technology. According to Dr. Rich Gilman of Terrace Metrics: "Today more than 60% of students with behavioral health risks are suffering in silence, and often parents are not aware."
Terrace Metrics CEO Rich Gilman noted that "Actionaly improves family engagement across all communication channels. This kind of active parent engagement can have an incredible impact on the kids that need it most."
Terrace Metrics Capabilities
The organization has administered over one million assessments, providing schools flexibility to customize evaluations matching their specific SEL culture and response protocols. Their algorithm categorizes individuals into four distinct groups, enabling counselor-response teams to intervene with evidence-based support.
Unlike standard SEL programs focusing solely on CASEL's five core competencies, Terrace Metrics additionally measures risk and resilience factors, offering "a picture of the whole individual," according to Gilman.
Actionaly's Role
Gilman stated: "Our partnership with Actionaly makes it faster and easier for students and families to engage with the assessment, the counselors, and with each other. Which takes a lot of the burden off the schools and helps them respond faster, with fewer resources."
Actionaly CEO Gauthier Philippart emphasized: "Working with Terrace Metrics is the kind of partnership we look for at Actionaly, companies that work with students, families, and educators to make a huge impact on their lives."
Philippart added: "We founded Actionaly to create a way to stay better connected to our children's life at school—to make sure they didn't fall through the cracks. Now, with Terrace Metrics, we get to help students who may not have the resilience to achieve at the highest level."
