Not a Peer Program.
A Managed Delivery System.
Onrise is the leading operational platform for athlete peer support delivery — combining certified peer mentors, clinical supervision, enterprise infrastructure, and proprietary athlete matching in one integrated system.
A Certification Is Easy to Commoditize.
A Delivery System Is Not.
Anyone can train a peer supporter. Very few can build the clinical supervision, documentation, compliance, insurance, escalation, and enterprise infrastructure required to actually deliver peer support responsibly at scale.
What we're NOT
"A training company."
- ✗ Certify someone, then they operate independently
- ✗ No ongoing clinical oversight
- ✗ No documentation or risk tracking
- ✗ No enterprise reporting or compliance
What we ARE
"The operational platform for athlete peer support delivery."
- Certified AND supervised within our system
- Every session documented and QA-monitored
- Clinical escalation built in by default
- Enterprise reporting for ADs and leagues
Three Layers. One Integrated System.
Each layer builds on the last. Together, they form a system that is very difficult to replicate.
Foundational Training
Onrise Certified Athlete Peer Support Specialist™
The educational foundation that every peer mentor must complete before entering the network.
- Peer support basics & professional boundaries
- Active listening & motivational interviewing
- Crisis recognition & escalation protocols
- Athlete culture, injury transition & retirement adjustment
- Confidentiality & trauma-informed approaches
Certification alone does NOT authorize independent practice under the Onrise brand. It is the first step, not the finish line.
Clinical Supervision + Platform Access
Onrise Supervised Athlete Peer Support™
This is where our defensibility lives. Peer mentors only deliver care when they are onboarded, supervised, QA-monitored, documented, insured, and operating within our system.
- Clinical escalation pathways
- Real-time documentation & risk review
- Scheduling, compliance & continuing education
- Emergency protocol activation
- Utilization tracking & outcomes monitoring
This layer is very difficult to replicate independently. Any peer supporter operating outside this infrastructure is not delivering Onrise care.
Enterprise Infrastructure
The System ADs & Pro Leagues Actually Buy
Athletic directors and professional leagues don't want a random retired athlete. They want a managed, supervised, scalable system with full legal and clinical backing.
- Contracts with schools & leagues
- Reporting, analytics & outcomes tracking
- Legal, compliance & insurance coverage
- Clinical oversight & governance
- Integrations with existing athletic department workflows
This is what makes Onrise a behavioral health infrastructure company — not just a peer support program.
Five Levels of Peer Support
Athletes love progression. This structure creates professionalism, retention, and a genuine career pathway in behavioral health for retired athletes.
Certified Peer Support Trainee
Completing foundational training and onboarding under direct supervision.
Onrise Certified Athlete Peer Support Specialist
Fully credentialed and actively delivering supervised peer support within the network.
Senior Peer Mentor
Experienced specialists who take on additional caseloads and help orient newer peers.
Lead Peer Supervisor
Oversees groups of peer mentors, conducts check-ins and contributes to QA processes.
Regional Clinical Peer Liaison
Bridges the peer network with clinical operations, supporting escalations and training.
Athlete Matching + Data
We know which athlete-peer relationships work best. That intelligence compounds over time — and becomes extraordinarily valuable.
Sport-Specific Matching Dimensions
Data We Accumulate Over Time
The result:
Onrise is not just a peer network. It is a specialized athlete behavioral health infrastructure company — and the data advantage grows with every relationship.
The First Step Athletes Will Actually Take
In a world of app fatigue, isolation, and AI, athlete trust, human connection, clinical backing, and scalable technology is very differentiated right now. And very hard to fake operationally.
Athlete Trust
Athletes open up to someone who has lived enough of the same life to make honesty feel safe — long before they'd walk into a clinical office.
Clinical Backing
Every peer mentor is supervised by a licensed clinician. Therapy, psychiatry, and 24/7 crisis support are always one step away.
Scalable Infrastructure
Certification, supervision, matching, documentation, compliance, and reporting — all in one managed system built for the demands of athletic organizations.
Peer support is the entry point
The full care continuum — always available, never fragmented.
