Insights
Support in the moment. Continuity through what comes next
Sonar begins with a real human conversation and stays with a young person through the next step. Young people get support when they need it, while partners gain clearer handoffs, engagement data, and visibility into program performance.
01See how Sonar can help you support more young people and keep them connected to the right next step
Track how needs shift across grades, sites, and seasons, and spot patterns before they surface in the clinic.
02Immediate access to support
Make it easier for young people to get started. Sonar fits into existing referral, enrollment, and outreach workflows and gives young people an immediate, text-based way to begin. Partners can see who activated, who did not, and where additional outreach may be needed.
- (01)Faster activation following referral
- (02)A familiar, youth-friendly communication channel
- (03)Less drop-off between identification and first support
- (04)A consistent experience across sites and programs
0324/7 human-led wellbeing coaching
Young people text with trained Wellbeing Coaches, not a chatbot. AI works behind the scenes to support consistency, safety, and quality, while humans lead every conversation.
- (01)Immediate support outside traditional care hours
- (02)Engagement in a format young people already use
- (03)Earlier surfacing of emerging concerns
- (04)Greater reach without adding licensed clinical staff
Support more young people between visits, after hours, and while they wait for care.
04Connect young people to the right next step
When a young person needs more than coaching, Sonar follows partner-defined pathways to involve caregivers, care teams, crisis resources, or other services. Coaches help prepare young people for the next step, address practical barriers, and stay connected until the handoff is complete.
- (01)Higher referral activation and appointment completion
- (02)Fewer missed or incomplete handoffs
- (03)Faster identification of practical barriers
- (04)Clearer visibility into whether the next step occurred
Reduce drop-off and help young people reach the right level of care sooner.
05Actionable insights for proactive program management
Structured reporting shows who is engaging, where handoffs stall, when escalations occur, and how support is being used across sites and populations. Teams can identify gaps and improve their program without creating another manual reporting process.
- (01)Activation, engagement, and retention
- (02)Handoff and follow-up completion
- (03)Trends by population, location, and time
- (04)Less manual reporting and reconciliation
Move from fragmented oversight to clearer, more proactive program management.
What we do
One continuous support layer, wherever young people first turn for help
Sonar works alongside schools, health systems, health plans, and community behavioral health organizations to provide immediate human support, maintain engagement, and connect young people to the right next step.
After a need is identifiedGive every referred young person an immediate human connection, rather than placing them into an unmanaged queue.
While they wait for careKeep young people supported, engaged, and prepared until their first appointment.
Between appointmentsReinforce goals, address practical barriers, and reduce silent disengagement.
Outside traditional hoursExtend support into nights, weekends, school breaks, and the moments when existing teams are unavailable.
During transitions in careSupport warm handoffs after discharge, following a crisis, or when a young person moves between levels of care.
Across the programSee activation, engagement, escalations, and handoff performance across sites and populations.
We are excited to partner with Sonar because the platform combines trained well-being coaches with a structured, clinically informed oversight, quality assurance and escalation model.
