Why every counselor loves Student Caring Contacts:

The highest counselor priorities are student suicide risk, depression, and anxiety. But…

Other issues don’t go away. If a counselor and a district don’t address all SEL issues, who will? Without care, student educational outcomes will suffer. Students need help.

About Us:

Our Story

Our Story: Brian and Tabbatha Lawe lost their beloved nephew, Stevie, to suicide. They turned their grief into action by creating a foundation to research and fund what became the HopeCheck program. HopeCheck regularly asked K-12 and college students about their hope outlook to identify the earliest signs of hopelessness.

During hundreds of school and counselor discussions, we learned that K-12 and college counselors never have enough time to do caring contacts as they wished. So, we decided to help by building a new technology to do comprehensive student caring contacts for all K-12 and college advisors, counselors, retentional specialists, etc.

We couldn’t build it alone, so we got tremendous assistance from the Kopp Family Foundation, and the nonprofit Ave Maria Community Corporation. The result is StudentCaringContacts.org. Our primary focus is on helping students. Our goal is to keep students safe and healthy, which keeps them in school and succeeding!

StudentCaringContacts.org is a Public Benefits company registered in the state of Delaware. The service is operated by HopeCheck Org LLC, and is operated in Ave Maria, FL. We are a 12-person operation that provides (1) first-class school and counselor support (led by Michelle Atkins), (2) technical system development (led by Cris Blanco), and (3) business operations (led by Brian Lawe).
