Arlington, VA/San Francisco, CA (USA), October 2011 - Teen Wellness, an online app that helps students improve resiliency skills, is now integrated into Naviance, the leading provider of measurable student-success solutions for K-12 schools and districts, through Naviance Succeed®. This integration will allow school staff and administrators to provide holistic academic, career, and emotional support to students using a single, integrated platform.
Developed by Mevident, Inc., Teen Wellness's integration with Succeed's NavStore™ marketplace gives Naviance Network members access to Mevident's proprietary educational materials for resiliency skills, including thirteen chapters of interactive lessons, homework exercises, and character stories for use in school.
"While the relationship between mental health and student performance is not new, a system that puts them together in actual operation is certainly new and exciting", says Dr. Benjamin Van Voorhees, chief, section of general pediatrics and adolescent medicine at the University of Illinois, Chicago, and technical advisor to Mevident.
"This integration helps students work through relationship problems, behavioral issues, and psychological barriers that distract them from schoolwork in a safe online environment where they can also manage their academic and career plans", says Mevident Chief Executive Officer Asako Tsumagari.
Adding Teen Wellness on the NavStore provides Naviance Network members with the ability to address the whole child by working with students to impact not just academic but also emotional milestones. Naviance Succeed users are representative of the diverse variety of institutions providing K-12 education, from schools in large urban public school districts and suburban private schools to small rural public schools.
