Proactive, data-driven support
Beacon: whole-student intelligence for well-being and persistence
Move from reactive to proactive: close the gap between student need and student support
61% of students face significant challenges that impact their well-being and academic success. But only 10% seek help on their own.*
What are you doing about the 51%? Traditional approaches leave institutions unable to identify which students need support, what barriers they’re facing, or how to reach them early enough to make a difference.

AI-powered whole-student intelligence
Surface students needs across your entire campus in real time
See what your students are facing the moment it happens. Beacon surfaces needs before they become crises, routing insights directly into the tools your teams already use so you can act fast, without the guesswork.
Uncover the hidden drivers of student attrition
Most persistence strategies only reach students who ask for help. Beacon identifies the ones struggling in silence, before they stop out, giving you the chance to intervene while there’s still time to make a difference.
Drive institutional strategy with population intelligence
Turn siloed systems containing valuable wellbeing data and retention signals into a single unified, actionable, up-to-date dataset. Leverage rich population analytics to make investment and policy decisions with more confident and precisions.
Boost ROI of current resources
Institutions pay for a wide range of student support services. Beacon routes students directly to the campus resource that fits their specific need, turning existing services into measurable impact.
Built for every campus
Beacon works with all third-party digital mental health solutions, including Mantra Health’s broader suite of mental health and wellness services.
Beacon shows real impact
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) partnered with Mantra Health to launch Beacon for their first-year, full-time students and saw a meaningful association between participation and student persistence.
4.3x increase in academic support engagement
First-year student tutoring appointments at NJIT’s Learning Center rose from 12.4% to 54.2% year-to-year following Beacon’s launch.
51% survey completion rate
Beacon achieved a 51% completion rate among its cohort, substantially exceeding industry-leading well-being assessments.
2x lower course withdrawal rate
Beacon participants had course withdrawal rates more than 50% lower than non-Beacon students, resulting in over $500K in net tuition revenue that otherwise would have been lost.
Trusted by higher education institutions
From large public universities to small private colleges, institutions are building stronger student support systems together, and sharing strategies as part of a growing Beacon community of practice. Join the following institutions in moving from reactive to proactive data-driven support.
Aligning with our strategic plan, launching Beacon was a cornerstone of our holistic approach at NJIT, giving students direct access to care when they need it most. It has been a game changer for how we support students, moving us from reactive crisis response toward a true culture of well-being.

When students completed the survey and were flagged for mental health concerns, they received personalized recommendations for Mantra counseling services right then and there. It’s truly a proactive approach to student well-being.
