Red Flag Word Detection

Prioritize Student Safety - Respond Before Crisis.

MindFlics' Red Flag Word Detection is a built-in safety feature that monitors student-written reflections—such as journal entries or assignments—for key words and phrases that may indicate emotional distress, self-harm, bullying, or other urgent concerns.

When a flagged word is detected, the system instantly alerts designated school staff so they can check in and respond with support. This proactive feature adds an important layer of protection—helping schools catch early warning signs before they escalate into serious issues.

The detection system works in both English and Spanish, making it effective across bilingual and multilingual classrooms.

What It Does

  • Scans journal entries and written responses for concerning language

  • Sends real-time alerts to approved school personnel

  • Enables faster intervention, emotional check-ins, and crisis prevention
