A Massachusetts-based app is helping expand college students’ access to mental health resources.Uwill, based in Needham, is a platform that helps college students find certified therapists to talk to on their time.Therapists do not pay to be on the platform and its colleges and universities pay for students’ therapy.Michael London, chief executive officer of Uwill, said the company is working with more than 100 colleges and universities, many of them in the Greater Boston area.”Everyone wants students to be mentally healthy, so what’s great is we’re able to team with colleges and they feel really good about what we offer,” London said.”When you think about the COVID silver linings, the idea of video chat and how we’re getting used to interacting and seeking help and services through a video interaction has really made it a lot more accessible and available. I think it’s been a great feature,” said Lisa Freudenheim, dean of New England Law in Boston.If the therapy is long-term, that is when the students’ health insurance — which can be their parents’ up until the age of 26 — comes into play.In the past five years alone, demand for mental health services on college campuses has risen an estimated seven times the rate of enrollment growth.Lindsay Bjornstet, a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said isolation and anxiety brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has only increased that demand.”Especially here, we’ve seen at MIT that there’s a huge demand for therapists and not a lot of supply,” Bjornstet said.Click here to learn more about Uwill and the types of services the app helps provide.
