NAIA Mental Health FAQs
Does NAIA require mental health services?
NAIA institutions have duty-of-care obligations for student-athlete wellbeing. While NAIA requirements differ from NCAA mandates, most NAIA schools are actively seeking scalable mental health solutions to meet accreditation expectations and provide genuine student care.
Is Onrise affordable for smaller NAIA schools?
Yes. Onrise is built to scale — smaller programs with fewer covered athletes pay proportionally less. We offer per-athlete pricing that makes comprehensive coverage accessible for NAIA schools without large athletic budgets.
Can NAIA athletes use the same platform as D1 athletes?
Absolutely. Every Onrise athlete — whether from an NAIA school or a Power 5 program — accesses the same peer support network, the same licensed clinicians, and the same 24/7 crisis line.
How quickly can an NAIA program get set up?
Most NAIA programs are live within 2–4 weeks of signing. We handle all onboarding, provide launch materials, and train your staff so you can focus on your athletes.
