24/7 REAL HUMAN SUPPORT

Crisis Services That Show Up When It Counts

Mental health crises don't wait for business hours. Onrise provides round-the-clock crisis support staffed by real, trained humans — not bots — ready to respond to athletes in their most vulnerable moments.

THE STAKES ARE REAL

Athletes Experience Mental Health Crises — Often Alone

Crises can strike after a bad game, a career-ending injury, the weight of unspoken pressure, or years of untreated pain finally breaking through. Athletes are less likely to reach out through traditional channels — they need a service designed for how they actually live.

Onrise's crisis line has directly intervened in life-threatening situations. Our team works alongside your athletic trainers and administrators to ensure every high-risk situation is handled with care, speed, and confidentiality.

  • Suicidal ideation and self-harm
  • Acute panic attacks and dissociative episodes
  • Substance-related crises
  • Trauma responses after assault or injury
  • Severe depressive episodes
  • Post-competition emotional breakdown

HOW CRISIS SERVICES WORK

Always On. Always Human. Always Ready.

24/7 Real Human Support

No bots. No phone trees. Athletes reach a real, trained human any time of day or night — including weekends, holidays, and away game nights.

Immediate Crisis Intervention

Our crisis counselors are trained in suicide prevention, trauma response, and acute psychiatric stabilization — providing immediate support and coordinating higher-level care when needed.

Safe Messaging & Staff Coordination

We follow safe messaging protocols and immediately loop in athletic trainers, coaches, or administrators as appropriate, ensuring no athlete falls through the cracks.

If an athlete is in immediate danger, always call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Onrise crisis services are for mental health support — not a substitute for emergency medical services.

Also in the Onrise care model

The full care continuum — always available, never fragmented.
