    Every Signal Deserves a Coordinated Response

    Bring suicide risk screening and behavioral threat assessment into Branching Minds so safety insights are connected to the student support work your team already does.

    With the Canopy add-on, Branching Minds partners can:

    • Turn safety signals into coordinated support and MTSS insights into a stronger safety response 
    • Standardize assessment and risk classification across every campus
    • Ensure critical visibility into active and historical cases
    • Protect sensitive information with user-level access controls and the same FERPA-compliant security already built into Branching Minds.

    Sensitive Cases Need More Than a Spreadsheet

    Behavioral threat and suicide risk assessment are among the most sensitive situations your district faces. And for many districts, they're still being managed outside a dedicated and secure system.

    Follow-through depends on someone remembering

    "Canopy is well built in terms of steps - walking administrators through the process of doing suicide and behavioral threat assessments, so we are gathering all of that data into a single, secure place, where it can be referenced by those that need it in the future."

    Stephen Prange

    Director of Data, Assessment, and Mathematics, Teton County School District , WY

    "Before Canopy, things were a hot mess. Now, we're all trained in C-STAG protocol, and our teams love having the decision tree pop up in Canopy to guide them through evaluations. "

    Dawn Baumgartner

    Coordinator of Social Services & Wellness, Phoenix Elementary School District #1, AZ

    "With Canopy, overseeing suicide risk screening and behavioral threat assessment is much easier, and much clearer. … And then I can see all of that information across the whole district."

    Dr. Jessica M. Plaza

    Director of Student Supports and Services, Evanston Skokie, IL

    "Canopy is doing for us in the realm of school safety what Branching Minds did for us years ago, which is giving us insight into what is happening across our district, where things are similar, where they’re different, where we have areas of higher need. It’s allowing us to re-evaluate from a lens of safety and student behavior that we’ve never done before."

    Dr. Katie Ahsell

    Assistant Superintendent, Community Consolidated School District 59, IL

    Why We Built Canopy

    Behind every behavioral threat assessment and suicide risk screening is a student with unmet needs. Districts told us they needed a better way to support them.

    Many districts are navigating increasing state-level requirements around threat assessment documentation and suicide risk screening.

    Add the School Safety Infrastructure States Are Prioritizing

    Your district already uses Branching Minds to identify student needs early and coordinate support. Canopy adds the missing connection so students aren't just assessed for safety—they're supported beyond it.

    As states raise expectations around school safety compliance, having a dedicated, connected system matters more than ever.

    100% of threats are a signal that a student needs support, not just a safety protocol.
