The collegiate mental health landscape is actively changing – and institutions are in the process of assessing the value of digital mental health providers and which partner (if any) is right for them. Before jumping into a partnership with a telehealth vendor, consider the four major factors contributing to a successful partnership:

• Collaborative approach
• Transparency
• Clinical excellence
• Service offerings and long-term sustainability

Consider your institution’s specific needs and what a successful partnership might look like. As you assess potential partners, ask about offerings, quality measurements, data capabilities, and a company’s ability to build a long-term, highly utilized mental health and wellness program
