Vasl is built on how Black, Brown, LGBTQ+, rural and Medicaid youth actually describe distress. If your young person uses Vasl, here’s exactly what our technology does, in plain language, because you deserve to know.
Only what members share on Vasl, their check-ins, messages in peer groups, and conversations with their coach. Vasl does not read texts, social media, school accounts, browsing history, or anything outside the platform. Ever.
Patterns that suggest a young person might be struggling, even when they say it sideways, the way people actually do. Our technology is built to understand how young people from many communities really talk, so nobody gets flagged for slang and nobody gets missed for code.
A human, every time. If something looks concerning, it goes to a licensed clinician, a real person with real training, who looks at the whole picture before anything happens. Usually “what happens” is simply that a coach checks in warmly.
It never diagnoses. It never punishes. It never calls the police. It never tells the school what your young person said. Schools and organizations see overall trends only, like “stress is rising this month”, never names, never conversations.
