About the Program

What is 1-2-3 Wellness™?+

1-2-3 Wellness™ is a patented school wellness and early intervention system for PK-12 schools. Every student checks in daily in 3 minutes, builds personalized wellness strategies, and educators get real-time data to enable proactive support.

Who is it designed for?+

The whole school community — PK-12 students, teachers, counselors, administrators, and adults. Co-regulation across the community is essential for lasting results.

How long does the daily check-in take?+

Just 3 minutes. It fits into any classroom routine — beginning of class, morning advisory, or any transition time. Zero prep required for teachers.

What grade levels does it work for?+

All grade levels, pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The program adapts language, emojis, and tools to be age-appropriate for each level.

The App and Technology

What devices does the app work on?+

Any device with a web browser — laptop, desktop, Chromebook, tablet, or smartphone. No download required. Works anywhere students have internet.

Does it require teacher preparation?+

No. Students log in, complete their check-in, and receive personalized tools automatically. Teachers monitor their dashboard — no lesson planning or facilitation required.

What is the Real-Time Screener?+

An educator tool showing which students have experienced challenging emotions recently, organized by MTSS Tiers 1, 2, and 3. It enables proactive identification before problems escalate.

Does it integrate with our student information system?+

SSO (Single Sign-On) integration options are available. For detailed IT requirements, visit our IT Leader Information page or contact us directly.

Safety and Privacy

How does the safety alert system work?+

When a student's check-in indicates a mental health concern, the system immediately notifies designated staff in real time. No student goes unseen. We recommend schools establish clear protocols for responding to alerts during implementation.

Is student data private and secure?+

Yes. Student data is FERPA-protected. We never sell data to third parties. See our Privacy Policy and Data Governance pages for full details.

Is 1-2-3 Wellness approved for district use?+

Yes. Multiple districts have reviewed and approved 1-2-3 Wellness for safety, data privacy, and FERPA compliance. Full documentation available for district IT and legal review.

Research and Alignment

Is there research supporting 1-2-3 Wellness?+

Yes — 1-2-3 Wellness is built from research conducted at UC San Diego. Research shows that high cognition follows a regulate-relate-reason progression: first the brain stem must detect safety, then the limbic system can open to connection, and finally the prefrontal cortex can come fully online for learning. When students regulate their nervous systems daily, better focus, problem-solving, grades, behavior, and attendance become the natural downstream effect.

Does it align with MTSS?+

Yes. The Real-Time Screener organizes students by Tier 1, 2, and 3 support needs, and the Educator Dashboard provides the data schools need for MTSS documentation and decisions.

Does it align with SEL standards?+

Yes. The program aligns with SEL competencies including self-awareness, self-management, and responsible decision-making. CASEL framework alignment is supported.
