Uwill, the nation’s fastest-growing mental health and wellness solution that serves more than 2 million students at 300 colleges in 50 states and 40 countries, has announced an exclusive partnership to offer Headspace, the world’s most accessible, comprehensive mental health platform, to the Uwill ecosystem. This collaboration enables Uwill to expand its existing mental health and wellness offering in higher education for students, faculty, and staff at a time when the demand for mental health support continues to rise.
“To effectively respond to the campus mental health crisis, we want to support well-being holistically, augmenting traditional counselling with wellness tools and support that can help transform stressors and difficult experiences into strength and resilience,” said Michael London, Founder and CEO of Uwill. “The integration of Headspace’s wellness app into our programming presents a powerful new collaboration to meet the needs of diverse students and colleges across the country.”
Through the exclusive partnership, Uwill expands its Urise component, the highly-utilised and participatory on-demand programming offering yoga, meditation and mindfulness exercises, to integrate the flagship Headspace app.
Research suggests that half of students with a mental health concern never access care, and a third of students say they do not know who and where to turn while experiencing a mental health crisis. College faculty and staff are also grappling with stress and burnout. Reports show that 88% of educators say that they experience moderate to extreme stress on a daily basis.
