Navigate360

Founded in 2020, Navigate360 provides a suite of social and emotional learning and safety solutions for schools and communities. An advisory board created in early 2021 and consisting of safety, education, and mental health experts guides Navigate360 on best practices, innovations, and initiatives. In July 2021, the company launched a reportedly first-of-its-kind, comprehensive suicide awareness and prevention solution called GPS: Guide to Preventing Suicide, developed in partnership with Dr. Poland. The program combines suicide risk screening and case management with e-learning allowing all school staff members to more easily identify, intervene, and support at-risk youth. The company launched a web filtering product—‘Navigate 360 Filter’—in December 2021, to enable schools to identify dangerous signals online. The filter will be integrated into the company’s K-12 threat detection and prevention product line, and will include social media and email scanning, anonymous tip reporting and behavioral threat assessment case manager. In July 2022, Navigate360 unveiled its fully integrated safety and security suite that was designed to improve communication between school authorities, first responders, and families. As of April 2021, the company’s solutions were used by more than 35,000 schools, 5,000 law enforcement agencies, and 4,400 businesses.

In November 2022, the firm acquired PBIS Rewards, a school management system, to expand its solution for child safety by integrating PBIS Rewards with Navigate360's behavioral threat and suicide case management and Suite360's mental, social, and character-building intervention curriculum.
