What Partners Say
"Onrise is the most utilized resource that we have for our student-athletes. It has made the most impact in the least amount of time."

"This is a strategic investment that allows our student-athletes to perform at their highest level both on and off the field. Mental health support has become as essential to athletic programs as strength and conditioning. Onrise has a proven system that has improved outcomes at the professional level, and we're committed to giving our student-athletes that same level of support."

"Hiring an in-house resource was cost prohibitive. Onrise made it easy on us by providing a reasonably priced, quality alternative that freed up budget for other priorities."
"We know balancing the demands of rigorous academics and high level athletics can be very challenging. We are glad to partner with Onrise to give our Student-Athletes the support they need to stay focused, to be resilient, and ready to go both on and off the field."
"At GVSU, we seek to unleash the full potential of all our student-athletes. This potential is realized only when they have the tools and support to navigate their toughest days. Onrise provides exceptional accessibility to mental health support that is so crucial to the success of our student-athletes."
