44% of the 415 students an avg. school counselor covers will struggle with a mental health issue. That issue often causes high absenteeism, low grades, and self-harm.
Our program is unlike any other program you may know. It is low-cost and easy to implement. Counselors, students, and parents love it. We fully satisfy every SEL law in the country.
Listen to Phil DeCico explain more.
Time is a counselor’s most valuable asset. We help counselors by doing their caring contacts to free-up their time to do higher-value student support tasks.
Our service delivers care to hundreds of struggling students as early as possible in just 15 minutes a week. We refer acute cases to the right professional well before a crisis event might emerge.
“Our administration is focused on supporting the mental health of all our students. This program is a great tool to help us regularly engage students to keep them healthy and ready to learn. It works really well for our counseling staff.”
Dr. J.J. McEachern
Vice President for Student Services
Mitchell Community College, NC
We free-up 90% of the time counselors otherwise spend doing caring contacts.
Counselors can use that freed time to do higher value student care.
Students benefit by getting time with counselors when any issue is identified.
We engage students on 50+ topics, including depression and anxiety. Counselors/Advisors have complete control over everything.

Our Story: Brian and Tabbatha Lawe lost their beloved nephew, 20 year-old 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).
