Our take
The United States is in the midst of a pressing mental health crisis, affecting a vast number of college students nationwide. The repercussions of students not receiving the necessary support are dire, often resulting in academic dropouts or even severe crises.
Mantra Health has stepped in to provide a digital mental health counseling platform aimed at college and university students in the US. It operates as a kind of bridge between college counseling services and mental health professionals. Acting as a supplement for counseling offices rather than a replacement, it has helped gain customers from a whole host of reputable universities including Penn State and MIT.
With 2023's fresh injection of funding, Mantra Health is expanding its workforce and forging partnerships with more insurance providers. These strategic moves aim to alleviate the financial burden currently shouldered by universities and further enhance the accessibility of mental health support for students
