Connect student safety staff with those in need
It’s not always easy to see that a student is struggling, and with school mental health resources often stretched to the limits, it’s possible that students who are in need of help may not always be visible.
Beacon augments a school or district's crisis prevention program by providing an additional layer of coverage to help identify at-risk behavior.


Designed in consultation with mental health experts
Beacon was designed with the guidance of leading experts in mental health to ensure that it fits seamlessly into your school or district's suicide prevention policy.
How GoGuardian Beacon® works

Deploy universally
IT leaders can add Beacon to any school-issued Chromebook, iOS, macOS or Windows browser. Beacon processes online activity that indicates a risk of self-harm, suicide, or possible harm to others.
Receive alerts with context
Beacon's timely alerts provide robust, relevant context around an event so designated staff can easily assess the risk level and respond appropriately. Escalation lists can be customized with unlimited contacts, escalation times, and mode of communication.


Be there for students — wherever they are
Approximately 80% of active planning alerts occur from search terms. Unlike other solutions that only focus on G-Suite or Office 365, Beacon works across search engines, web apps, and more.
Use data to drive meaningful interventions
Beacon’s data-rich alert dashboard provides actionable insight to help you more easily identify trends, evaluate responses to safety alerts, connect students to resources, and ensure adequate staffing and support for stakeholders.


24/7 support available
Beacon offers the option to have a dedicated team of safety specialists review and escalate active planning alerts 24 hours a day. These specialists operate within the U.S. and are specially trained to evaluate alerts.
