TrustCircle Joins the SETDA Family: A Transformative Step Toward Scaling Student Mental Health Support in K-12 Education
A Milestone Moment for Mental Health in Education
We are honored and excited to officially join the State Educational Technology Directors Association (SETDA) family—a strategic alliance that marks a major milestone in our mission to foster mental health and emotional resilience in K-12 students across the U.S. and beyond.
TrustCircle was founded with a deeply personal vision: to create a world where emotional well-being is prioritized as foundational to learning and life. With our evidence-based, AI-powered social-emotional learning platform already transforming lives in schools across Asia, Africa, and the U.S., this partnership supercharges our ability to scale what we know works—early prevention, self-awareness, and community-driven care.
Why SETDA? Why Now?
SETDA is a nationally respected nonprofit membership organization representing U.S. state and territorial educational technology leaders. Their mission aligns powerfully with ours: to improve learning through smart, sustainable technology policy and practice. In an era where mental health is no longer a "nice-to-have" but a necessity, our partnership with SETDA couldn't be more timely or essential.
By joining SETDA, TrustCircle gains access to a coalition of visionaries—state leaders, educators, and innovators—committed to equitable digital transformation in education. Together, we are uniquely positioned to integrate mental health and emotional learning as core pillars of the digital learning ecosystem.
How SETDA Helps Us Scale Our Impact
- State-Level Advocacy with National Reach
SETDA's influence spans all 50 states and U.S. territories. Through collaborative policy development and cross-state initiatives, we can support school districts and state education agencies in making student well-being a statewide priority, not an afterthought. - Professional Learning Communities
SETDA's deep expertise in professional development means we can co-create training pathways that equip educators to use TrustCircle's platform meaningfully—empowering them to interpret emotional trends, intervene early, and build emotionally safe classrooms. - Equity-Driven Innovation
TrustCircle's platform is multilingual, low-bandwidth-ready, and device-agnostic—perfectly aligned with SETDA's commitment to ensuring all students, regardless of geography or economic background, have access to mental health tools. Together, we can bridge the gap between well-being and inclusion. - Global Scalability with a Local Touch
While TrustCircle has touched over 1.3 million lives in India, Kenya, the U.S., and more—we believe real impact comes from local empowerment. SETDA's state partnerships will help us tailor our solutions for cultural and regional relevance while maintaining global best practices.
What This Means for K-12 Schools
Imagine a school day that begins with a mindful check-in. Students open their TrustCircle app, reflect on how they're feeling, and receive personalized emotional insights. Teachers gain anonymized, real-time data trends on class well-being. School counselors are proactively alerted to students showing signs of distress—before crisis strikes.
With SETDA's support, this isn't a vision for tomorrow—it's a reality we're building today.
Our Collective Commitment
At TrustCircle, we believe emotional health is the bedrock of academic success, empathy, and lifelong resilience. Our partnership with SETDA accelerates our ability to reach millions of students and educators with tools that prevent, not just treat, mental health challenges.
Together, we're not just talking about change—we're delivering it.
Let's Build the Future, Together
We invite educators, administrators, policymakers, and mental health advocates to join us on this journey. Explore how TrustCircle can support your school, district, or state in building a thriving, emotionally resilient learning environment.
