New York, New York, December 10, 2025 – Mantra Health today announced a new partnership with the National Association of Higher Education Systems (NASH), a non-profit organization representing the public systems of higher education across the United States. The organizations join together to advance the mission of creating more accessible, high-quality, comprehensive mental health and wellness support systems across public education systems. 

Nationwide, the 90 public higher-education systems—comprising more than 1,200 institutions and serving nearly 14 million students—are encouraged to leverage Mantra Health’s Whole Campus Care solution. The stepped-care model provides a cohesive and integrated ecosystem of support that includes preventative self-care wellness courses, goal-oriented coaching, as well as virtual therapy, psychiatry, 24/7 crisis support, and more, with the goal of reaching every member of the student body across every stage of their mental health and wellness journey.

“NASH’s commitment to strengthening systemness and advancing student success across public higher education aligns perfectly with our core mission at Mantra Health,” said Ed Gaussen, President and Co-Founder of Mantra Health. “We are proud to join their network of affiliates and look forward to partnering with member systems to deploy comprehensive mental health and wellness solutions that drive tangible, equitable outcomes for students.”

Mental health is consistently cited as one of the main reasons students consider dropping out, making this partnership all the more urgent for driving student persistence. As the newest member of the NASH Affiliate Partner program, Mantra Health joins other mission-driven organizations in an effort to advance systemic change in higher education. This new partnership strengthens NASH’s mission to help systems collaborate effectively, remove barriers for student success, and create space where meaningful outcomes can scale. 

“Student success means our graduates are both earning degrees and thriving as they enter the workforce,” said Nancy Zimpher, President of NASH. “Our affiliate partnerships bring proven solutions to scale at higher education systems, and we’re pleased to welcome Mantra Health as a trusted provider to improve wellness across public institutions.”
