Youth Mental Well-Being

Empower students to communicate how they feel

Statistics show New Zealand Children are experiencing greater pressures earlier in life, with many suffering increased levels of stress and anxiety. We know early intervention reduces the risk and severity of mental health issues later in life, and drastically improves a child's developmental, emotional, academic, and social outcomes.

All too often, assumptions based on a child’s outward behaviour determine our assessment of their well-being. However, as part of a coping mechanism, children often hide their feelings and will internalise trauma. Ultimately, that suffering child becomes much harder to recognise via common behavioural cues. Also, whilst not adequately processing, or repressing emotions entirely, as they mature they may jeopardise the formation of normal cognitive developmental processes.

Thought Score provides a means for all children to open up, reassured by anonymity, they reveal concerns without the fear of judgement. Thought Score provides new insight and greater understanding of the mental health of our schools.

How do you ensure data confidentiality?

Thought Score has been developed from the ground up to be thoroughly and robustly anonymous. All student responses are anonymised. The demographic data collected (age, gender, ethnicity, and year group) does not allow a person to be identified.
Thought Score well-being questionnaire can only be completed by entering a one-time code. The code serves dual purposes; it connects a questionnaire response with a school, and it prevents anyone who is not a student at a participating school from using the app and contaminating the data. The code cannot be reused, which maintains full anonymity and stops code circulation. All student responses are anonymised.

Who will see the students' answers?

Teachers have access to anonymous student responses via Thought Score web-based application. Teachers view insights by logging in to the Thought Score Dashboard. It’s here where the responses are aggregated and can be further analysed.
