A private, nonprofit, accredited institution, SNHU serves more than 200,000 student learners worldwide offering roughly 200 undergraduate, graduate, certificate, and professional skills programs both online and on its 300-acre campus in Manchester, NH. The institution has built its reputation on expanding access to education through high-quality, workforce relevant learning experiences for traditional-aged students and working adults alike.

"With the ongoing collaboration and guidance from SNHU, we've been able to evolve our offerings to ensure we're successfully meeting the unique and evolving needs of this diverse student population."

Mantra Health expands partnership with MINDful College Connections, now serving all four consortium institutions. New partnership with Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College completes Mantra Health's coverage across the Indiana-based consortium Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, IN - October 1, 2026 - Mantra Health, the digital mental health provider built exclusively to support student well-being and success across higher education, has launched a new partnership with Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. This officially makes Mantra Health the sole digital telemental health provider for all institution members of the Indiana-based consortium MINDful College Connections (MCC). "With the recent addition of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, every member of the consortium has chosen Mantra Health for its digital mental health vendor. A genuinely collaborative partner, Mantra Health has shown an ongoing commitment to supporting these institutions, regardless of their size, and a willingness to accommodate each institution's individual needs. This has been greatly appreciated on all fronts," said Curtis Wiseley, PsyD, Executive Director, MINDful College Connections. The consortium, which includes Butler University, DePauw University, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, was established in 2022 to allow member institutions to pool resources under a single umbrella agreement, giving smaller schools access to a level of clinical care that would otherwise be out of reach due to typical vendor minimums. Mantra Health has served the consortium since its founding, beginning with original members DePauw University and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and has since launched partnerships to serve Butler University and Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. Following a thorough evaluation of its existing student mental health resources, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College chose Mantra Health, reflecting a broader pattern within the consortium. Since the founding of MCC, every member institution has stayed on that model and chosen Mantra Health for mental health and wellness support. Now all member institutions offer their students virtual therapy, psychiatry, 24/7 crisis support through ConnectNow, and access to intensive outpatient programming. "Being a part of MCC has allowed Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College to meet more of the mental health needs of our students," said Brennan Randolph, president of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College. "Mantra Health will give our students additional support through digital mental health services, complementing the counseling services offered on campus in the Student Counseling and Wellness Center." Through the Mantra Collaboration Portal, on-campus counseling staff at all four MCC member institutions maintain full visibility into their students' care, enabling seamless collaboration with Mantra Health's providers. This platform allows campus clinicians to refer students directly into clinical care, monitor progress, view clinical outcomes in real-time, and securely communicate with providers. This ensures coordinated care and functioning as a true extension of each institution's on-campus counseling services. "Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College made the choice to move from another third-party vendor to Mantra Health, and that decision reflects the strength of the relationship we've built with MCC as a whole. The consortium has grown to trust us not just as a vendor, but as a genuine partner in how they support their students, and we look forward to continuing to provide comprehensive, high-quality care that is often out of reach for smaller institutions," said Matt Kennedy, CEO and Co-Founder of Mantra Health.
