Mental health pioneer reThinkIt!'s exemplary customer service ranks in the top 5% of more than 4,000 Certified B Corps

AUSTIN, TX, USA, August 4, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- OneSeventeen Media, Texas’ first Certified B Corp and a Public Benefit Corporation, has been named a Best for the World™ B Corp in the Customer impact area. Ranking in the top 5% of all B Corps in its size group worldwide for their sustainable business practices, OneSeventeen Media earned the honor because of their exemplary customer service with reThinkIt! for School™ – their proven effective mental health chatbot that makes kids emotionally healthier by solving their mental health needs.

It’s easy to see why this school Superintendent is so high on reThinkIt!’s customer service:

“reThinkIt! is an easy-to-implement, effective tool that our counselors, administrators, and teachers can use in real-time to analyze our students’ emotional state while identifying specific student mental health needs to prevent school tragedies more efficiently. I like to call it a ‘counselor’s assistant!’ The chatbot tool allows for students to vent and be heard in a swift and student-friendly manner. It works as a stress-reliever for students as well. The reports, curriculum resources, on-site professional development, and personalized ongoing support from the OneSeventeen Media team makes reThinkIt! a step above the rest.”

“Covid-19 has accelerated the need for outcome-based interventions that provide kids access to more relevant and personalized mental health care tools built specifically for them. reThinkIt! has already prevented a potential school shooting and multiple teen suicides. Kids tell us, ‘reThinkIt! gets me’, shares OneSeventeen Media CEO Beth Carls.

Carls continued, “Prior to Covid-19 research showed 75% of children receiving mental health care receive that care in a school setting. Another study confirms student mental health is a top-of-mind issue for every superintendent in the country. There are far more kids now in mental distress than there’s availability or time for mental health professionals to care for them. It’s imperative that educators, parents and communities act now to provide schools the easily accessible and affordable tools they need to effectively identify and support kids’ mental health well-being especially during this kind of crisis.”

The Best for the World recognition is administered by B Lab, the global non-profit network that certifies and mobilizes Certified B Corporations, which are for-profit companies that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

The B Corp Certification doesn’t just evaluate a product or service, it assesses the overall positive impact of the company that stands behind it. Using the B Impact Assessment, B Lab evaluates how a company’s operations and business model impact its workers, community, environment, and customers.

Today there are more than 4,000 Certified B Corporations across 77 countries and 153 industries, unified by one common goal: transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet.

"Best for the World is a special program for the B Corp community, and we're thrilled to resume it after pausing the program in 2020 due to COVID-19," said Juan Pablo Larenas, Executive Director of B Lab Global. "This year's Best for the World companies are operating at the very top of their class, excelling in creating positive impact for their stakeholders, including their workers, communities, customers and the environment.

Close to 800 B Corps from more than 50 countries were named to the 2021 Best for the World lists, including Patagonia, Beneficial State Bank, Uncommon Goods, Natura, Seventh Generation, TOMS and King Arthur Baking. The full lists are available on https://bcorporation.net/.
