LANSING — Lansing Community College recently announced a partnership with Uwill, the leading mental health and wellness solution for colleges and students, to enhance and expand the college’s counseling services for students. Uwill’s proprietary technology enables immediate appointments with licensed mental health counselors based on student needs and preferences, offers same-day availability, and provides a direct crisis connection in less than 20 seconds.

“Mental health support directly impacts a student’s emotional well-being, academic performance, and long-term success, even after graduation,” said Louise Rabidoux, Mental Health Counselor at Lansing Community College. “When students feel emotionally supported, they are more likely to engage in campus life and seek help before challenges become crises.”

Recent survey data shows that 90% of adults believe the country is facing a mental health crisis. While 42% of college students have expressed the need for help with mental health difficulties in the last year, more than 60% have never received counseling or therapy.

“Mental health is foundational to how students learn, communicate, and build confidence during some of the most formative years of their lives," said Michael London, Founder and CEO of Uwill. “Expanding access to care is one of the most meaningful ways institutions can support student success, and better equip students to navigate challenges and remain engaged in their education"

Using its proprietary technology and counselor team, Uwill pioneered the first student-therapist matching platform built around immediacy, choice, and barrier-free access. The solution offers an immediate appointment with a licensed counselor based on student preferences, all modalities of teletherapy, a direct 24/7/365 crisis connection, prescription management, on-demand medical care, basic needs assistance, wellness programming, real-time data, and support.

Lansing Community College is one of 15 colleges in Michigan partnering with Uwill to support student mental health and wellness. Uwill serves more than 4 million students at 500+ institutions worldwide, including College For Creative Studies, Delta College, Michigan State University, and Western Michigan University.
