The Proactive Shoulder Tap: Inside SchoolPulse’s Approach to Student Wellbeing with Iuri Melo – Episode 418

SchoolPulse is reshaping student mental health by shifting from reactive crisis response to proactive, human-driven outreach. What began as a simple “check-in” text has evolved into an ongoing relationship, real people listening, supporting, and gently nudging students toward resilience long before challenges escalate. In this episode, Peter Fenger speaks with Iuri Melo, a licensed therapist with more than 20 years of experience helping individuals and families navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, and emotional growth. He’s the best-selling author of “Know Thy Selfie” and “Mind Over Grey Matter”, and a dedicated advocate for mental fitness and personal development. Iuri is also the co-founder of SchoolPulse, a pioneering, text-based SEL platform that empowers students through proactive outreach, positive psychology, and meaningful connection. Above all, he’s someone who believes deeply in human potential and is committed to helping young people live boldly and intentionally. We’re thrilled to have Iuri on the show to explore how SchoolPulse blends tech-enabled emotional support with clinical insight to foster engagement, autonomy, and resilience, ultimately helping students and school communities thrive.
