Mission
Our mission is to address the worldwide mental health crisis by leveraging decades of research into what works for each individual and implementing it in practice.
We use the best, most validated interventions from leading researchers from around the world into an integrated solution to help mental health professionals address the mental health challenges of young adults.
We work with clinics and counselors to help address the challenges together.
Our Solutions
College Student Mental Health
Menssano curates the best-in-class interventions from around the world, based on validation and efficacy. We then use validated precision treatment rules to direct students to the most effective interventions for them. These solutions are configured into comprehensive solutions to help colleges and universities provide the best and most efficient mental health support to their students.
Life Skills Training
An interactive, web-based pre-matriculation training program to help high-school students meet the stresses and temptations of college. This program is undergoing a rigorous validation program by the U.S. Army and we believe it will be proven to minimize mental health issues and improve academic success.
