Kognito in Minnesota Schools

In response to a recent rise in suicide rates among young Minnesota citizens, the Minnesota Departments of Health and Education have partnered with Kognito as part of a new initiative meant to empower educators across the state to respond and intervene when students exhibit signs of suicidal ideation or other forms of psychological distress. 
Between May and September of this year, more than 2,000 elementary, middle, and high school teachers across the state have completed one of Kognito’s interactive training simulations.
