This summer the WAICU Mental Health Telecounseling program underwent an unexpected change. The Virtual Care Group was acquired by Uwill, which was one of the other programs seriously considered during the RFP process last year. Uwill is honoring the previous WAICU agreement and the WAICU members already under contract are being transitioned.

WAICU and Uwill are holding an informational demo on Monday, August 5, at 2:00 p.m. for any members interested in what the new platform looks like. If you have not received a meeting invitation, email WAICU Director of Member Services Kathy Dutter.

Uwill is the leading mental health and wellness solution for colleges and students. Using its proprietary technology and counselor team, Uwill pioneered the first student and therapist matching platform. The solution offers an immediate appointment with a licensed counselor based on student preferences, all modalities of teletherapy, a direct crisis connection 24/7/365, 24/7 urgent care, wellness events, real-time data, and support. Uwill supports more than three million students at more than 400 institutions.
