Current struggles
- The Gap in time between someone needing help to getting help
- Those that need support but do not seek it out
- 59.8% of youth with major depression do not receive any mental health treatment.
- What happens between appointments or when support is not around?
Mental health awareness and culture improvements are more critical than ever...
The demand for mental health services on campuses is surpassing the available capacity, leading to what can be described as a campus mental health crisis.
- Even if sufficient resources were available, there are concerns that many students struggling with high anxiety or stress are reluctant to reach out for help.
- There are instances where students may require support outside of scheduled appointments or after hours.
This problem must be addressed to ensure students have access to the mental health resources and support they need to thrive personally and succeed academically.

Student Wellness Journey
An event or a journey?
They're easy to confuse.
- An event happens at a specific date, then it's over, and nothing more is to be done.
- A journey might include an event but is more significant than that and ongoing.
- Wellness U is a journey.
We give athletes, students, coaches, and trainers every chance to achieve an improved culture and psychologically safe environment. Our support platform for students, athletes, and administrators was developed by athletes, coaches, and one of the world's leaders in behavioral health, Ken Yeager, Ph.D. from The Ohio State University. In testing, using the assessment and resources led to decreased emotional exhaustion.

Social Proof
"For [our students and student-athletes] to be able to use those resources and have something to fall back on when they needed it, whether we're going through a good stretch or a bad stretch, was something that really helped us out."
"I really appreciate this. Great idea to add the video review the first time [we] see the numbers [on the reports]. Really helpful. I am happy with our numbers.
"I showed my Management Team this afternoon. We are floating some ideas about benefits and how we can better support Work/Life Balance."
21-year-old college student-athlete:
"Action kills and breaks down my anxiety. The more I can stack productive, active, and meaningful off-season days together, the lessening of anxiety at night and throughout the day is huge for me...Execution & action are my drugs of choice." CD
16-year-old high school student-athlete:
"Wellness U is like a workout plan or going to the gym. Once I moved beyond immediate gratification to "just feel better" and embraced delayed gratification, "this is a process," my whole outlook on daily action changed. I work on myself every day, and no one even knows the skills I am learning on my own. Yeh, I have become more resilient, and I am also a better teammate and friend." JL
"I just got done with the women's basketball team meeting. It was very well received! I'm pretty sure that we at least had 100% of the team load it, but wireless and Internet were sketchy in the room that we were in, so I encourage them to finish their assessment later. Some were doing it when I just left. One girl said, 'Remember when I told you yesterday that I was going to need therapy? Well, here's my therapy!' From Michell Prange, GVU Student Success Coordinator) "Makes my heart smile!"
"...I'm proud of our University for bringing Wellness U to campus...This app gives us an opportunity to find self-help anonymously and comfortably...
Wellness U has given me an outlet and a safe place where I can find self-motivation when I am having tough days. It gives me the capability to remind myself of my self-worth and purpose that I have in this world...I believe that Wellness U will help myself and others students build a foundation of bettering their mental health and finding ground to seek additional help in the future."
