NATICK, Mass., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Franklin Pierce University announced a partnership with Uwill, the leading mental health and wellness solution for colleges and students, to build upon the college’s existing counseling options. Uwill’s proprietary technology facilitates immediate appointments with licensed mental health counselors based on student needs and preferences.

“We recognize that graduate programs are both rewarding and demanding, often requiring students to balance academics, careers, family responsibilities, and countless other commitments, sometimes at the expense of their own wellbeing,” shared Franklin Pierce’s Senior Director of Student Wellness and Outreach Education Nicole Newell, MA, LCMHC, NCC. “Through our partnership with Uwill, enrolled graduate students will have unlimited access to mental health and wellness support, reflecting our deep commitment to helping every student feel supported, cared for, and empowered to maintain a healthy balance throughout their academic journey and beyond.”

Recent survey data shows that 90% of adults believe the country is facing a mental health crisis. Nearly 40% of graduate students experience symptoms of anxiety or depression, six times higher than the general population. 

“Graduate students often balance demanding academic programs with careers, family responsibilities, and other pressures that can make it difficult to prioritize their mental health,” said Michael London, Founder and CEO of Uwill. “We’re proud to partner with Franklin Pierce University to ensure students have meaningful support as they navigate this important stage of their academic and professional lives.”

Utilizing its proprietary technology and counselor team, Uwill pioneered the first student and therapist matching platform. The solution offers an immediate appointment with a licensed counselor based on student preferences, all modalities of teletherapy, a direct crisis connection 24/7/365, on-demand medical care, prescription management, basic needs support, wellness programming, realtime data, and support.
