About Uwill:
In the past five years alone, demand for mental health support on college campuses has risen an estimated seven times the rate of enrollment growth. Students, parents and administrators are all searching for new solutions. Uwill’s mission is to expand mental health support for colleges and students. Utilizing its proprietary technology and counselor team, Uwill pioneered the first student and therapist matching platform. The solution offers an immediate appointment with a licensed counselor based on student preferences across all modalities of teletherapy.

Uwill continues to expand access to mental health support through Uhelp, our 24/7/365 crisis connection offering. Providing in-the-moment care, Uhelp goes beyond the standard de-escalation, with a  solution-focused intervention approach that concentrates on resources and skills already available to the student. The ultimate goal of Uhelp is to give students a sense of autonomy over their distress. Following the initial call, Uhelp crisis counselors will connect students to care within the Uwill platform.
