BOCA RATON, Fla., July 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Collegiate Behavioral Health Associates (CBHA), the innovative start-up dedicated to providing comprehensive mental health care for student-athletes, has achieved a significant milestone by securing partnerships with over 15 prestigious universities nationwide in its inaugural month of operations.
The discussion and studies of prevalent mental health concerns in college institutions, including notable studies in collegiate athletics, continue to detail the pressing need for comprehensive mental health care solutions.
Steve Wigginton, the visionary Chief Executive Officer of CBHA, emphasized the company's unwavering commitment and transformative impact: "We are fully equipped to deliver unparalleled full-service mental health care to all institutions, from large universities to community colleges."
Wigginton further referenced the toxic culture recently alleged at a major university's athletics department, where former football players were "thrown into a culture where physical, emotional and sexual abuse was normalized," as said by Lloyd Yates per CBSNews.
"We've all seen the news of what just happened at a major university," Wigginton states. "Multiple athletes experienced abuse in their own school. They couldn't talk about their struggles, nor were they comfortable seeking help. It's unacceptable. Essentially, this is where we step in. Our program's privacy and independence is able to create an atmosphere that will prevent this from ever happening at any institution."
CBHA's mission centers around making high-quality mental health care readily accessible to all student-athletes. The organization actively fosters a proactive approach, reaching out to every student-athlete to bridge the gap caused by hesitation, fear, or uncertainty that may hinder them from seeking care.
By offering a comprehensive, full range of mental health services - including self-report screenings, licensed therapist consultations, and options for ongoing therapy - CBHA ensures that athletes receive personalized care tailored to their unique needs. The use of this model aims to empower all athletes to thrive both on and off the field.
Wigginton, who commenced his tenure as Chief Executive Officer in May 2023, shared the company's vision to positively impact the lives of all student-athletes. "Our goal at CBHA is to provide care for 100-200K patients per year," he stated. "To do that, we need to be one of the top 5 mental health providers in the world. All these aspirations combined take a billion-dollar valuation to execute the necessary work with success. We're aiming to achieve this in three years."
