How Closegap is Making a Difference

Supporting the Mental Health of Students One Check-In at a Time

Young people today are navigating a world full of challenges, from school pressures to the influence of social media, and the mental health toll is real. At Closegap, we’re here to give students a safe, simple way to share their feelings—and enable school staff to offer support when it matters most.

Since our launch in 2019, we’ve served over 312,000 students and facilitated more than 7.5 million check-ins, creating real moments of care and connection that have led, in some cases, to life-saving support. Our reach spans all demographics, with a special focus on underserved communities. Closegap is present in all 50 states and over 30 countries worldwide. 

We are proud of the lives we’ve helped to save, the safe digital check-ins we’ve created for students and the relationships we’ve helped to facilitate between young people and the trusted adults who can help in a moment of darkness. 

We have launched our first-ever Impact Report, which provides an overview of the last five years and digs deeper into the 2023-2024 school year. It serves as our first “check-in,” sharing what we’ve accomplished so far and our goals for the future. 

You can review our impact findings and download the Impact Report here.
