Step 4: Assign your Wellbeing team and help responders

A Wellbeing team consists of:

• a Pulse Director who has overall responsibility for Pulse,
• the staff members assigned to oversee student groups and review their check-in data, and
• help responders students can seek wellbeing support from.

To assign your Wellbeing team:

1. Enter your Pulse Director’s name in the Pulse Director field and select it from the list that appears as you type.
   
   

   Note

   If their name is not on the list, it means they’re not in the SIS. You can manually add them to Pulse by selecting Add missing staff, then entering their details. However, we recommend adding their name in your SIS instead to retain their details in future syncs.

2. Assign staff members to groups by typing their names. You can add staff members to each group or add them to the parent group.
   
   

   Note

   Some groups don’t need to be overseen by staff. Select NEXT, then select OK to confirm you’re not assigning staff members to these groups.

3. Select your help responder. Help responders can receive help requests from students. Choose one of these options:
   
   • The Wellbeing Team (e.g. Pulse Directors and the staff assigned to oversee groups)
   • The Wellbeing Team and their teachers (e.g. Pulse Directors and the staff assigned to oversee groups, plus class teachers)
   • All staff at the school (i.e. all staff members in the school)
