1 in 3 athletes will face a mental health crisis. Most never get help. Onrise changes that.
TheNation'sAthleteMentalHealthNetwork
Onrise extends your athlete mental health resources with a trusted national network of athlete-specific peer support, licensed clinicians, psychiatrists, nutrition professionals, and 24/7 crisis care. Built to strengthen your team, not replace it.
Because athletes open up to someone who's been there first.
Built for Every Decision-Maker in Athletics
Whether you're a pro sports executive, AD, counselor, or trainer on the sideline — Onrise fits your workflow.
Athletic Directors
This is yours to solve. Here's the cost of not solving it.
What they care about
- →Low utilization of existing resources
- →Coaches absorbing unmet mental health needs
- →Risk accumulating quietly — until it isn't
- →"Will athletes actually use this?"
How Onrise helps
You probably already have something in place. The problem isn't access — it's that athletes aren't using it. Traditional models have high dropout rates and low engagement. Onrise is built differently: peer-first, immediate, and private outside your organization. Not more resources. A system that actually works.
This is not about adding resources. This is about having a system that works.
Pro Sports Org Executives
Protect your investment. Protect your people.
What they care about
- →Player availability & performance continuity
- →CBA compliance & duty of care
- →Confidentiality at the professional level
- →Preventing crisis from becoming headlines
How Onrise helps
Professional organizations carry enormous reputational and financial risk when player mental health isn't proactively managed. Onrise provides the full spectrum — peer support from retired pros who've been in the locker room, licensed clinicians, and 24/7 crisis coverage — all designed to meet the standards of elite sport.
Elite Youth Athletic Directors
Develop the whole athlete, not just the player.
What they care about
- →Duty of care for minors
- →Parent trust and transparency
- →Burnout and early specialization pressures
- →Identifying issues before they escalate
How Onrise helps
Elite youth athletes face immense pressure at increasingly young ages. Onrise provides age-appropriate peer support, licensed clinical access, and staff guidance — giving your program the infrastructure to support athlete development holistically and protect your organization's duty of care.
Athletics Counselors & Sport Psych Staff
A pressure-release valve, not a replacement.
What they care about
- →Clinical quality & continuity
- →Avoiding care fragmentation
- →Managing waitlists and overload
- →Clear referral pathways
How Onrise helps
Onrise operates as supplemental capacity with defined escalation criteria, documentation practices, and warm handoffs — so your team can focus on higher-acuity work.
Athletic Trainers (ATCs)
The training room for the mind.
What they care about
- →Fast access for athletes in distress
- →Clear crisis pathway
- →Simple referral workflow
- →No added admin burden
How Onrise helps
The workflow is straightforward: refer → athlete gets confidential access → we handle triage and escalation. You get a clear, non-PHI confirmation loop. No complex vendor management.
Just like the athletic training room — you don't send every athlete straight to a surgeon. You start with a trusted first stop, triage, and escalate when needed.
Counseling Center Directors
Supplemental capacity with clear governance.
What they care about
- →Clinical governance & liability
- →Wait times and access gaps
- →Avoiding duplication
- →FERPA/HIPAA boundaries
How Onrise helps
Onrise extends campus counseling with athlete-specific access and after-hours coverage. We provide governance docs, escalation protocols, and warm handoffs so this functions as supplemental capacity — not a silo.
