- EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH
Built on proven models & peer-reviewed research
ShineQuo integrates evidence-based frameworks used in behavioral health, positive psychology, and higher education student success research - including the Stepped Care Model, Okanagan Charter principles, and peer-reviewed coaching efficacy studies.
Stepped Care Model Integration
ShineQuo aligns with the Stepped Care framework offering preventative, low-intensity support (coaching, peer circles, AI tools) before students need clinical intervention, reducing demand on overwhelmed counseling centers.
Peer-Reviewed Coaching Impact
Meta-analyses show life coaching improves goal attainment (d=0.74), wellbeing (d=0.46), and self-efficacy (d=0.43), particularly for emerging adults navigating identity and career transitions. (Grant et al., 2009; Theeboom et al., 2014)
Okanagan Charter Principles
Our platform embeds health into campus culture by creating supportive environments, promoting belonging, and addressing social determinants of student success for health promoting universities.
Research Based Peer Support
Structured peer support programs reduce dropout rates by 15-25% and improve academic performance (Tinto, 1997; Crisp & Cruz, 2009). ShineQuo's peer circles operate at both college and city-wide levels, creating belonging across institutional boundaries.

TRIO, Title III/V eligibility

- THE CHALLENGE YOU FACE
We know what keeps student success teams up at night
ShineQuo was built in direct response to the gaps universities face turning student wellbeing from a cost center into a strategic advantage.
Retention & Persistence Gaps
Your students are academically capable but emotionally struggling. Traditional academic support doesn't address belonging, purpose, or resilience - the real drivers of persistence.
ShineQuo Solution
Neuroscience-backed resilience frameworks, peer support circles, and 1-on-1 coaching that directly target the root causes of attrition.
Mental Health Crisis Overload
Your counseling centers are overwhelmed. Students need support, but clinical services can't scale to meet demand.
ShineQuo Solution
Preventative, peer-led support and professional coaching that reduces demand on crisis services by addressing issues before they escalate.
Career Readiness Outcomes
Employers want soft skills, emotional intelligence, and adaptability but your curriculum doesn't teach these. Students graduate unprepared for real-world work.
ShineQuo Solution
AI-powered learning pathways focused on communication, leadership, time management, and career confidence, tracked and measurable.
No Data on What Actually Works
You invest in student success programs but have no visibility into engagement, utilization, or impact. It's impossible to prove ROI or iterate effectively.
ShineQuo Solution
Real-time admin dashboard with engagement analytics, pathway completion rates, coaching utilization, and aggregated wellbeing insights.
