What We Provide for Professional Programs
Complete mental health infrastructure for player associations, leagues, and clubs — with same-day setup and no full-time headcount required.
Confidential & Secure
Complete confidentiality guaranteed. Players can access care without fear of it affecting their career, contract, or team standing.
Peer Support from Retired Pros
Athletes connect with retired professional athletes who have lived the same experience — the pressure, the spotlight, the identity shifts.
24/7 Crisis Support
Round-the-clock crisis care available any time of day or night, regardless of timezone or travel schedule.
Family Coverage Included
Mental health support extends to player families — because the pressure of professional sport affects everyone at home too.
Unique Pressures Facing Professional Athletes
The spotlight, the stakes, and the stigma make professional athletes uniquely vulnerable — and uniquely resistant to traditional mental health care.
- Performance pressure and public scrutiny
- Career uncertainty and contract anxiety
- Identity tied entirely to sport
- Injury and recovery without identity support
- Transition out of professional sport
- Family separation due to travel
- Stigma around seeking mental health help
- Distrust of club-employed counselors
"Having Onrise available to our players has been transformative. Athletes who would never seek help on their own are now engaging because they trust the peers."
