Counseling centers report waitlists of 2-6 weeks. Students need help now, not next month.

After Hours

Common Questions

Is my data safe? Will this information be sold or shared?+

Your data is safe. We don't sell your information, target you with ads, or train AI models using your personal data. Privacy and trust are critical—especially for mental health and behavior change tools.

When you use Neurture, your data is encrypted and stored securely. If your university provides access to Neurture, they only receive anonymous, aggregate usage statistics (like '60% of students activated their accounts'). They never see who is using the app or what you're working on.

Research shows privacy concerns are the #1 barrier preventing students from using mental health apps. We built Neurture with privacy as a core feature, not an afterthought.

Do mental health apps actually work for college students?+

Yes, when they're evidence-based and address specific needs. A systematic review of mental health apps for college students found that the majority were either effective or partially effective in reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety and improving overall psychological well-being.

What matters is that the app uses proven techniques—not just generic meditation or mood tracking. Neurture is built on evidence-based approaches from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention. These aren't just buzzwords; they're the same techniques used by therapists and clinicians.

That said, apps work best for subclinical concerns—everyday stress, unwanted habits, and behavioral patterns that don't severely impact your functioning. If you're struggling with severe depression, anxiety, or thoughts of self-harm, please reach out to your campus counseling center or call 988.

Do I need to be diagnosed with something to use this?+

No. Neurture is designed for anyone who wants to work on habits, behaviors, or patterns they want to change—no diagnosis required. You don't need to have a 'problem' or be in crisis to benefit from these tools.

Think of it like going to the gym. You don't need to be diagnosed with a medical condition to work out—you just want to be healthier. Neurture works the same way for your mental fitness and habits. Whether you're trying to drink less, reduce screen time, manage stress before exams, or just build better routines, the tools are here for you.

This is actually one of the advantages of digital tools over traditional campus counseling. There's no need to 'qualify' for help or prove you're struggling enough. If you want support, it's available.

Is this a replacement for campus counseling?+

No. Neurture is a self-help tool that complements professional counseling. Students with serious mental health concerns should still access counseling services.

Can students use it completely privately?+

Yes. Students can use Neurture without their university knowing. For institutional implementations, we only provide aggregate usage metrics—never individual student data.

What if a student is in crisis?+

Neurture is not a crisis service. The app provides resources for students in crisis, including the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and campus-specific emergency contacts.

Can we pilot the program first?+

Yes. We can work with you to structure a pilot program with specific student populations (e.g., athletes, recovery community, one residence hall) to evaluate fit and gather feedback.

How much does it cost?+

Pricing depends on your student population size and implementation approach. We offer per-student and departmental pricing. Let's discuss what makes sense for your institution.
