Menthra Compass is a web-based emotional wellbeing platform for K-12 schools, colleges, and universities, with AI companions available 24/7. It supports conversations about anxiety, bullying, academic pressure, identity, and family stress; the K-12 offering describes conversations as age appropriate. Its crisis protocol calls for human counselor review of Level 2 and Level 3 interactions within 10 minutes during school hours, with on-call escalation overnight. Counselors can receive crisis alerts, view aggregate wellness insights, and access session context when students come in. Integrations depend on the education offering: the page lists district SSO/LMS integration, Growth includes LMS/SIS integration, and Enterprise offers API integration with existing systems. University features include six companion styles, multilingual support, anonymous routine use, and SSO integration. Menthra says conversations are encrypted in transit and at rest, stored in the US, and student data is not sold; education data belongs to the institution. The company says Compass is built to support FERPA and COPPA compliance, including parental-consent workflows for users under 13. It describes HIPAA alignment but says it is not HIPAA-certified or a HIPAA covered entity; SOC 2 Type II attestation is in progress. The platform meets WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards and supports screen readers and keyboard navigation, according to Menthra. Institutional customers can book a demo or pilot, or contact Menthra for pricing. The company is based in Frisco, Texas, and was founded in 2025.
