Solution

Onrise delivers specialized mental health care specifically for athletes, by athletes and backed by licensed clinicians. 

This telehealth service is external to the organization that they play for, allowing them to be more open and fully engaged.

Why Does Onrise Work?

Player Care Screening

A robust approach to mental health, physical health, and life skills.

Developing Rapport with the Player Care Specialist

Especially in a hybrid system, it is important to develop a meaningful relationship with the Player Care Specialist. If players know who they are reaching out to, they will reach out more often.

On-Call Player Care Specialist

When any issues arise, the Player Care Specialist is a click or text away. They can meet with the player within 24 hours.

Mental Health Needs

When the needs of a player should be elevated to a licensed LCSW or Psychiatrist, the Onrise team will see them within 48 hours.

Ongoing Support

Onrise will be there for your team, even during the off-season. We believe in arriving well and leaving well.
