Company Overview:
At Mantra Health, we're dedicated to revolutionizing student mental health care. Partnering with a variety of universities and colleges across the country - including Columbia University, Texas Tech, and the University of Minnesota school system - our mission is to provide universal access to high-quality mental health services for students.

Since our founding in 2018, we've built a comprehensive treatment service for young adults with various mental health conditions. We've raised over $34 million to work with students at universities and colleges nationwide. We're particularly proud that nearly two-thirds of students with access to Mantra report that our program helped them stay in school.

From comprehensive teletherapy to wellness coaching to tele-psychiatry, our diverse team is dedicated to ensuring that students not only survive but thrive. Our students see meaningful improvements in their mental health during treatment with us, reinforcing the impact of our work.
