Accentus Health Introduces a more Unified Mental Health and Well-being Experience for Students

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 7, 2022


Morgan Koth, CEO of Accentus Health, Inc email: morgan@accentushealth.com 

Accentus Health Announces A redesigned experience that delivers end-to-end support for students & athletes and reduces the administrative burden for administrators and coaches.


November 7, 2022

Columbus, Ohio.—(Press Release)—Accentus Health, the provider of accessible, comprehensive digital mental health resources, provides a more unified product experience, bringing together meditation and mindfulness, evidenced-based resource offerings with coaching, therapy, and psychiatry services. This experience provides a single destination for high-quality mental health and well-being support for people and an underlying platform that reduces complexity and administrative burden for administrators.


When it comes to students and student-athletes mental health problems can affect many areas of their lives, reducing their quality of life, academic achievement, physical health, and satisfaction with the college experience and negatively impacting relationships with friends and family members. These issues can also have long-term consequences for students, affecting their future employment, earning potential, and overall health.1


Consequences for the Student

Many college students report that mental health difficulties interfere with their studies and athletic performance. In the American College Health Association 2015 survey, college students identified the following mental health issues as negatively impacting their academic performance within the last 12 months:3


  • Stress (30% of students)
  • Anxiety (22%)
  • Sleep difficulties (20%)
  • Depression (14%)


Consequences for Campuses

  • Campuses feel the burden when students with mental health difficulties do poorly on coursework and drop out of school and transfer.
  • Colleges and universities must be prepared to address the psychological impact of suicides on other students and teachers, and staff.4
  • Poor student retention can mean losses in tuition, fees, and alum donations.



Consequences for Communities and the Larger Society

  • One study found that five percent of students do not finish their education due to psychiatric disorders. It estimated that 4.29 million people would have graduated from college had they not been experiencing such disorders.5


Current 2022 environment

Here are some statistics from “The State Of Mental Health In America 2023 from Mental Health America (MHA)” 6


  • Approximately 30% of women and 25% of men who are student-athletes report having anxiety, and only 10% of all college athletes with known mental health conditions seek care from a mental health professional.8
  • Over 1 in 10 youth in the U.S. are experiencing depression that is severely impairing their ability to function at school or work, at home, with family, or in their social life. 16.39% of youth (age 12-17) report suffering from at least one major depressive episode (MDE) in the past year. 11.5% of youth (over 2.7 million youth) are experiencing severe major depression.
  • 59.8% of youth with major depression do not receive mental health treatment. Asian youth with major depression were least likely to receive specialty mental health care, with 78% reporting they did not receive mental health services in the past year. In South Carolina, the lowest-ranking state, nearly 8 in 10 youth with depression do not receive care.
  • Nationally, only 28% of youth with severe depression receive some consistent treatment (7-25+ visits in a year).  Most (57.3%) youth with severe depression do not receive care.


How do we help? 


With a comprehensive, evidenced-based, seamless, accessible, and scalable platform. Accentus Health, with its Wellness U platform for students and athletes, STAR Support for employees and employers, and Educator Wellness for faculty and non-profits, provides a unique and complete mental health and well-being experience. 


User experience:

  • Members can seamlessly navigate between evidenced-based resources, whether heading into a counseling session, journaling, engaging in tailored exercise, finding specific organizational resources, or listening to a meditation.


  • This unified experience is about making engaging with mental health and wellness services easier and being kind to your mind, regardless of where you are on your mental health journey. 


  • Organizations trust we can address their people's mental health needs across the spectrum and will lead with prevention to address challenges before they become acute and costly.


Stakeholder experience:

  • Our platforms and member experience provide stakeholders with an end-to-end view of adoption and outcome metrics, helping them understand their people’s mental health in aggregate.  
  • Admins/coaches are provided with communications support to reduce mental health stigma, drive awareness of the available options for support, and ultimately help to drive enrollment and engagement across the programs.


The Accentus Health unified experience is available now. To learn more, please contact us here: Contact us.

Accentus Health Announces Strategic Partnership with Onrise to provide access to quality, compassionate psychiatric care for those who need it most.

August 9, 2022

Columbus, OH., - 82% of college students said they had experienced an increase in anxiety since the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has presented all young people with new stresses and challenges. Accentus Health has teamed up with Onrise to create and share resources, provide Telehealth, and provide confidential wellness reporting metrics to stakeholders across the country. Accentus Health will work with a team of mental health experts led by Dr. Kimberly Quigley, CEO of Onrise, and Player Care Specialists to help students, student-athletes, and educators to have positive conversations on mental health in a rapidly changing world.

Accentus Health has launched a new channel on its Wellness U, Educator Wellness, and STAR Support platforms, called Wellness Coaching, through this partnership. The Wellness Coaching app icon includes a link for Telehealth and connects members directly to Onrise player care specialists, talk therapists, and medication providers.

“In discussions with clients and within our leadership meetings, we have had a lot of excitement about bringing Telehealth to our members within our platform. Onrise will allow us to connect those members needing to talk with someone about vital mental health care services through videoconferencing, text, and chat. By increasing access to specialists, this new partnership helps ensure Accentus members receive the right confidential care at the right place and at the right time. It is a great compliment to our mental health resource hub and data analytics within our existing platform. Onrise has the people, the expertise, and the compassion we were looking for. It is a perfect fit.” Morgan Koth, CEO Accentus Health.

Stakeholders and coaches are desperately seeking tools and resources to find the correct answer on how to best help the students & student-athletes in their lives. Accentus Health and Onrise are coming together to blend expertise in mental health resources, confidential reporting, and mindfulness content with Onrise’s expertise in Telehealth. We will be able to offer members and stakeholders helpful content, tools, and resources that can further the conversation, reduce mental health stigma, and encourage trust and support during the pandemic and beyond.

"This partnership with Onrise brings together two teams with complementary skills and missions," said Morgan Koth. "The opportunity to work with Onrise, which has so clearly developed an expertise for working with student-athletes across the country, means that we can partner to bring positive change about mental health and wellness directly to schools in a scalable and affordable manner."

“We are thrilled to help support the mission of Accentus Health. Since 2018, Onrise has been dedicated to providing compassionate talk therapy and medication management by Telehealth to vulnerable populations. We also have treated many athletes and helped them stay safe and healthy on their athletic journey. We are thrilled to help those students who have access to the resources that Wellness U provides to colleges and universities. ” Onrise CEO, Kimberly Quigley, MD.
