By the time the morning bell rings, millions of students around the world have already fought battles no one else can see.

In a monumental stride for youth mental health and emotional well-being, TrustCircle has been officially selected by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) as one of the top solutions in its prestigious Digital X Programme—out of over 4,000 organizations that applied globally.

TrustCircle has joined the State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA) as a strategic partner, marking a major milestone in our mission to scale student mental health support across the U.S. and beyond.

TrustCircle is honored to announce its membership in the EDSAFE AI Industry Council, marking a significant milestone in our ongoing mission to empower student well-being through responsible and ethical technology.

In a landmark move that could reshape the future of student mental health, TrustCircle, the pioneering AI-powered mental wellness platform, has officially become a part of the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN). This partnership is a game-changer for student mental health in the United States, as it brings together a leading edtech organization with a national leader in empowering K–12 edtech leadership.

In a landmark achievement for mental health innovation, TrustCircle has been selected as one of only 51 programs worldwide by the Healthy Brains Global Initiative (HBGI)—a collaborative effort led by the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, and the World Bank.

In an age where the world's most urgent challenges require not only innovation but compassion, two visionary forces are aligning to spotlight progress with purpose. One is Real Leaders Magazine, a premier global media platform committed to recognizing and elevating businesses that blend profit with purpose. The other is TrustCircle, a rising force in the mental health and emotional well-being space, whose mission is to build a healthier, more emotionally resilient world—starting with our youth.

In a world that increasingly recognizes mental health as foundational to education and well-being, few moments shine as brightly as international validation.

Today, we're proud to announce a landmark partnership with the Piramal Foundation to transform student well-being across India.

In a world where the silent epidemic of mental health continues to claim lives, derail futures, and deepen inequities, true transformation is sparked not just by compassion—but by courageous action.

When we began working with Piramal Foundation, we knew the mission was meaningful. But we didn't expect how much we'd need to unlearn and reimagine to make that vision a reality.

In a world grappling with an escalating youth mental health crisis, Sachin Chaudhry's recognition as an Ashoka Fellow marks more than just an accolade—it marks a movement.

In a world where students are grappling with increasing emotional and academic pressures, a quiet revolution is underway—one driven not just by compassion, but by data, AI, and a bold vision for global well-being.

In the vast classrooms of Africa — where dreams are as expansive as the sky and yet mental health support is painfully scarce — a quiet revolution is unfolding. Its name? TrustCircle.

School safety is often framed in terms of physical infrastructure and emergency drills. But the greatest threat to student success today isn't just violence—it's emotional instability. Loneliness, anxiety, and trauma are affecting every classroom in America.

Our classrooms are hurting. Students are carrying invisible burdens—grief, anxiety, loneliness. A 2019 Pew Research Center report revealed that 7 in 10 U.S. teens see anxiety and depression as major problems among their peers ( Pew Research). Meanwhile, educators are overwhelmed. A 2022 RAND study found that over 44% of teachers reported frequent job-related stress, and nearly 1 in 4 said they were likely to leave their job within the year ( RAND Corporation).

When a student is already in crisis, the damage is done. But what if schools could prevent that crisis from occurring in the first place? That's the promise of proactive well-being strategies—and it's the foundation of TrustCircle's impact.

We talk about student well-being—but what about the adults guiding them? In 2023, over 44% of U.S. teachers reported frequent stress, with many considering early retirement (RAND Corporation).

It is no longer enough to measure success in grades and test scores. The foundation of learning is well-being. A student overwhelmed by anxiety cannot focus. A child navigating trauma cannot fully participate. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, half of all mental illnesses begin by age 14, and nearly 75% by the mid-20s.

Across the United States, a hidden emergency is unfolding within the walls of our K–12 schools. Student mental health is in decline, exacerbated by the lingering effects of the pandemic, socio-economic inequalities, and digital overload. According to the CDC, over 40% of high school students reported persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness in 2023. Alarmingly, 22% seriously considered attempting suicide, and nearly 10% attempted it.

In an age of digital innovation, not all mental health platforms are created equal. What sets TrustCircle apart is not just its cutting-edge, ethical, and responsible AI—but the global recognition and rigorous validation behind it.

In a world that measures educational success by test scores and college placements, the emotional health of students has often been overlooked. Yet without well-being, there is no real learning. Mental wellness is not a privilege—it is a fundamental right.

Dropout rates don't tell the whole story. Many K-12 students who leave school early cite emotional fatigue, lack of support, and mental health issues as root causes—not academic failure.

For many students, school is the only stable place in their lives—yet even there, emotional needs often go unmet. The National Center for Education Statistics reports that more than 80% of schools say student mental health is a moderate or major concern.
