What’s a check-in?
A check-in is an opportunity, a sacred pause—a chance for young people to breathe, reflect, and reach out when they need support. Closegap’s check-ins are carefully crafted to hold them in a safe, digital embrace, a space where they can open up and trust in the care that’s ready to meet them.
Schools using Closegap have prevented suicides and uncovered cases of self-harm, sexual assault, bullying and other issues that would have otherwise gone unnoticed.
