Uwill Acquires tbh to Expand Student Support for Basic Needs Insecurity and Mental Health Challenges

Uwill, a leading mental health and wellness solution serving over 4 million students at 500+ institutions globally, has acquired tbh, a pioneer in providing support for students and young adults facing basic needs insecurity and mental health challenges. The acquisition reflects Uwill's commitment to expanding its platform to offer comprehensive mental health support to students. By integrating clinical counseling and crisis intervention with services addressing fundamental needs such as food, housing, and transportation, Uwill aims to remove barriers that can affect student success. The acquisition of tbh follows Uwill's previous acquisitions of Christie Campus Health in 2023 and the Virtual Care Group in 2024.

Uwill's success has been recognized, ranking as the 79th fastest growing private company in the US in 2025, and as the #1 fastest growing company in Massachusetts by the Boston Business Journal in 2025. Uwill partners with 500+ institutions worldwide, including Northeastern University, the Ohio State University, Princeton University, Santa Fe Community College, and University of Alabama - Online. Uwill's CEO, Michael London, emphasizes the importance of addressing fundamental needs to support student mental health, particularly as three in five college students reported experiencing food or housing insecurity in the past year, according to the Hope Center at Temple University's survey.

The integration of tbh's technology and AI-powered basic needs support with Uwill's teletherapy and mental health infrastructure enables institutions to provide integrated student support at scale without increasing staff burden. Asaf Zilberfarb, co-founder of tbh, highlights the significance of this integration in connecting students facing basic needs challenges with immediate support, ensuring they have the resources and opportunities to thrive. Uwill's continual efforts to enhance college mental health offerings demonstrate its dedication to supporting every student quickly and effectively.
