For Families

Sapien Labs helps schools like yours understand the mind health of students and implement policies and provide resources that make a real difference.

What it means for your child

Students will take the MHQ, a 20-minute, online, comprehensive assessment of mind health.

The MHQ will ask students to rate different aspects of their mental feelings and functions, lifestyle habits, and the school environment and experience.

Your child will be fully informed about the survey and can choose whether to participate and withdraw from the questionnaire at any time.

What is mind health?

Mind health is the ability to navigate life’s challenges and function productively.

Privacy & data use

The MHQ is entirely private and anonymous, so your student can trust that they can answer the questions honestly.

No individual student’s data is shared with your school, and students are not required to share their results with peers, teachers, parents, etc. Importantly, Sapien Labs will never identify or sell their data.
