Your school has access to Alongside; thank you for bringing this valuable resource to students!

Alongside is a tier 1 preventative mental health platform that helps all students navigate everyday challenges like “I got in a fight with my friend and don’t know how to make it better,” “I’m failing math,” or “I can’t sleep.” Students access the app on their devices using Clever or their school email.

Rollout Approach:

• All at Once: Every student activates their account at the same time or on the same day: same time - during advisory, first period, after lunch same day - in a class like Social Studies or ELA

Step-by-Step: Student Account Activation

• Step 1: Staff log into app.alongside.care, click “Rolling Out?” and show the student introduction video.
• Step 2: Students follow the on-screen prompt to sign in — either with a code or through SSO (like Clever or ClassLink).
• Step 3: Students complete a short interactive onboarding quiz — including a guided tour of Alongside!
• Step 4: Encourage students to explore! Try the Mood Tracker, Chat with Kiwi, or unlock a Superpower.
• Step 5: We recommend following up with a direct message to students, whether that’s posted via LMS like Canvas or Google Classroom or through email.

Once students activate their accounts, they can use Alongside whenever they want. Many schools integrate it into instruction or offer it as a way for students to get support. You can track student engagement through your Alongside dashboard and receive weekly email summaries with usage data.

If you use an SMS service to communicate with families, you can share this message: Introducing Alongside: 24/7 support for the every day challenges of life. Access via school email, browser, or apps. Learn more at app.alongside.care
