Arche XR and T-Mobile Help School Districts Implement the U.S. Department of Education’s Mental Health and SEL Priorities

1. Prioritize wellness for every student and educator
Arche XR delivers brief, self-guided VR experiences that build emotional regulation, resilience, and connection for students, while also offering rapid reset tools for educators. Districts can expand wellness support without adding staff or time burden.

2. Improve mental health literacy and reduce stigma
Students engage privately with emotions, stress, and decision-making in realistic VR scenarios. This increases participation and understanding, particularly among students who avoid traditional services, while reducing stigma and resistance.

3. Implement evidence-based prevention across all tiers
Arche XR supports Tier 1 universal SEL, Tier 2 targeted skill-building, and Tier 3 supplemental intervention through developmentally grounded, research-informed programming aligned with MTSS frameworks.

4. Integrate education, SEL, and behavioral health systems
One platform works across classrooms, counseling spaces, and community settings. This enables consistent delivery, program fidelity, and alignment across departments without fragmented tools or siloed initiatives.

5. Leverage policy and funding efficiently
Arche XR fits within multiple education and mental health funding categories, allowing districts to stretch limited resources while aligning with federal and state prevention and equity priorities. For approximately $4 per student, districts can deliver cutting-edge, evidence-based mental health programming at scale.

6. Expand workforce capacity without hiring more staff
Arche XR requires no clinical licensure or specialized training. Educators, aides, and support staff can deliver high-quality mental health and SEL programming immediately, without costly IT infrastructure or new hires.

7. Use data to guide equitable implementation and outcomes
Built-in metrics provide actionable engagement and usage data, with optional program evaluation to help districts demonstrate impact, guide decisions, and sustain funding, all without added reporting burden.

Bottom line
Arche XR, developed by leading psychologists and scientists, delivers research-informed, evidence-based mental health programming in a format districts can implement immediately, at scale, and without added burden.
