SOS FAQs

I need help logging in or with my password.

Help, I can't access my SOS Portal?

  1. Please make sure that you are on the correct website: sossignsofsuicide.org.
  2. Next, make sure that you are using your username (formatted [yourschool]-imp), not an email address. Your username was assigned to you by the SOS team.

How do I reset my password?

  1. On the SOS homepage, there is a link that allows you to reset you own password.
  2. After clicking on the link, clients will be prompted to enter their name and username (formatted [yourschool]-imp).
  3. Clicking ‘Submit’ will prompt an automatic email from the portal with a one-time login link, at which point you can reset your password.

Every time I try to log in, it makes me reset my password.

It’s likely you’re using the link in your original setup email (sent from no-reply@sossignsofsuicide.org) each time you access the program. Instead, please go to sossignsofsuicide.org and use the username (formatted [yourschool]-imp) provided in your email and the most recent password you set to log in.

I'm trying to login, but it says 'unrecognizable username or password'.

Are you trying to log in with your email address? You will need to use the username (formatted [yourschool]-imp) provided in your original setup email (sent from no-reply@sossignsofsuicide.org).

I haven’t gotten any emails from the SOS portal.

Check with your spam/junk mail folder or filter. We recommend liaising with your IT department to add “@mindwise.org” and “@signsofsuicide.org” to your Safe Senders list to ensure that emails from us always make it to your inbox.

There are multiple people on our team. Can we all access the SOS portal?

Yes – you will all share the one provided username (formatted [yourschool]-imp). Make sure to set a password that you are comfortable sharing with others.

How do we change the email associated with our account?

You will need to contact the SOS Team to make this change. Email us at SOS@mindwise.org or call us at 781-239-0071.

How can parents at my school access the parent portal?

To access the portal, parents can go to sossignsofsuicide.org/parent or click on the parent link on the SOS homepage.
