GiveThx review
A focused school wellbeing program pairing private gratitude notes with short practices and coaching.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
GiveThx combines a digital K–12 social-emotional learning curriculum, private gratitude notes, and staff professional learning. Students and educators can send “Thx” notes that recognize strengths and support belonging, while lessons and practices run 5–15 minutes. The program is aimed at schools and districts seeking structured relationship-building and wellbeing support, with a focused emphasis on gratitude rather than a broad curriculum across many subjects.
Its implementation support is a notable part of the offer. Staff training covers belonging, identity safety, community-building, and wellbeing; implementation planning, coaching, and ongoing check-ins accompany the program. Teacher and administrator dashboards track participation and impact, and the platform can identify students or staff who may need intervention. Schools looking for a guided rollout and visibility into participation may value this combination; those seeking a self-serve resource without coaching may find it less suited to their approach.
The school experience is described as moderated and private by design. GiveThx supports rostering and single sign-on with Google, Microsoft, or Clever, and is delivered through the web. According to GiveThx’s implementation guide, schools receive a customized pricing proposal after contacting the team, rather than selecting from published plan prices. That sales-led process may fit schools evaluating a supported program, but makes it harder to compare costs upfront. Choose GiveThx for a structured gratitude and belonging initiative with training and coaching; consider alternatives if broad curriculum coverage or readily comparable plan pricing is central to the decision.
