Studies from Learn Platform, Clayful, Stanford University, and Dr. Aylward (PhD, Assistant Professor at Emory University) show that students using Clayful demonstrated consistently higher attendance rates, with an average of one additional week of instructional time compared to non-users.
For chronically absent students, Clayful users gained nearly two extra weeks of learning time, significantly improving engagement.
Non-native English speakers also saw a notable boost, with a 95% attendance rate compared to 91% for non-users, equating to over a week of extra instructional time. The positive effects of Clayful extend across all usage levels, proving its value as a transformative tool for schools.

I just think it's a great resource for our kids because, you know, counseling capacity is pretty limited at our middle school.

You helped me see that i am not powerless.
I am able to be the calm in my own storm.
Student, age 11
In the past we would have had to stop what we were teaching and deal with like two or three peer conflicts.
Now I tell them to go on Clayful and talk to a coach so they get some strategies to emotionally regulate.

I’m a 16 year old guy and I feel alone.
I am embarrassed to reach out in any other way.
Student, age 16
I think I've kinda gathered my thoughts on how i felt.
I might talk to my mom about it.
I'm glad this chat stuff exists.
Middle School Student
There was times where I didn’t want to get up but I pushed myself.
An example was this morning I didn’t really feel like making my bed but I told myself if I make my bed then I’ll be set for the day and won’t have to come home to make the bed.
These are like life hacks.
Teen
I think I will do that, because it seemed very productive,
but I will make sure to balance things out so I don't over work myself.
I am going to try - maybe it will change the way I think of myself for once.
Thank you for the help!! It was really eye opening!!
High School Student
You really helped me feel way better in less than 5 seconds of chatting with you!

We provide a confidential space for students because having a private place to share and explore their thoughts is key to building trust.
Kids often seek advice elsewhere if they don’t feel they have this, and it may not always be safe or reliable.
At Clayful, we take safety seriously. If anything concerning arises during a coaching session—such as a safety risk or serious issue—we follow clear protocols and immediately contact the school or family to ensure your child gets the right support.
This balance of confidentiality and safety allows students to open up, knowing they’re supported in a secure and caring environment.
Coaching sessions are text-based and happen in real time. Students connect to a coach within 60 seconds and start a conversation focused on what they want to improve or achieve.
Coaches ask questions, offer strategies, and provide guidance to help students take positive action.
Students often chat about school stress, friendships, building confidence, improving routines, and tackling everyday challenges like time management, sleep, or tough conversations. Coaches help them focus on solutions and take small, achievable steps forward.
Our coaches are carefully selected professionals, including former teachers, counselors, and parents. Each coach is certified and trained in Clayful’s proven coaching methods, with ongoing supervision and professional development to ensure quality support.
No, Clayful coaching is not therapy. While therapy focuses on healing from the past, coaching helps students identify goals, build skills, and take action to improve their day-to-day lives and future.
Sessions are flexible, depending on what a student needs. Some chats may take just a few minutes to address a small concern, while others may last longer for deeper exploration.
If a coach identifies a concern that requires additional support, our clinical supervisors step in, and the school or family is notified. We’re here to provide support and ensure your child gets the care they need.
Students can connect with a Clayful coach as often as they need. Whether it’s once a week or a few times a month, coaches are there to provide support whenever students reach out.
Students can connect to Clayful on any school-approved or personal device, making it easy for them to access support wherever they are.
