Students at Grant Avenue Elementary School in New York City know that the adults care about them because they listen and respond to their check-ins on Closegap.

It just took one counselor with initiative and intention to implement Closegap’s check-ins with transformative results at Randolph Elementary School in Wisconsin.

Designing for Dignity: New Resources on Digital Wellbeing and Gratitude

In a world that often feels rushed and disconnected, how do we help students find their footing?

Closegap has partnered with MindWise Consultancy founder Caitlin Krause to launch two new Single-Session Interventions (SSIs) on Gratitude and Digital Wellbeing. Moving beyond standard screen-time lectures and toxic positivity, these brief, present-focused resources are designed to spark curiosity, build resilience, and meet students exactly where they are.

In this post, you'll discover:

• How to establish dignity as the true foundation for digital wellbeing.

• The "3 A's" of mindfulness to help students interrupt doom-scrolling momentum.

• Practical ways to seamlessly integrate these quick tools into advisory periods, daily transitions, and digital citizenship units.

"We’re creating a place where students feel they matter, and that place might end up inside themselves."

Koko and Closegap make it possible to give students more care in less time. This partnership brings short, evidence-backed Single Session Interventions into Closegap so students can spend eight to ten minutes learning real coping skills on tough topics like body image, self-harm, and suicidality while counselors get tools that actually fit into the school day.

Closegap and Koko are teaming up to meet students where they are—at school and online—with brief, research-backed Single Session Interventions (SSIs). Using millions of real student check-ins and rigorously tested tools, this partnership gives schools fast, evidence-based supports for issues like body image, self-harm, and safety, right when students need it most.
