Alpha Chi Rho National Fraternity is proud to announce a partnership with BetterMynd, an online therapy provider that partners exclusively with colleges and universities in the United States to provide their students with access to free, high-quality counseling services.
In response to the growing importance of mental health awareness, the evolving needs of our membership, and the presentation from resident Brother groups at the 2024 InDeed Institute, Alpha Chi Rho has taken a proactive approach to expand the support and resources available to our members. The partnership with BetterMynd will enable students to access confidential and convenient mental health services remotely, providing them with the flexibility to prioritize their mental well-being within their busy schedules.
BetterMynd supplements on-campus mental health resources by providing free and highly personalized online therapy to students to meet their unique needs, including access to 50-minute scheduled counseling sessions, a diverse network of mental health clinicians, and the scheduling flexibility needed for students to make meaningful progress with mental health challenges. Sessions can take place anywhere the student is most comfortable, during the day, at night, or on weekends.
National Secretary Scott Carlson said, “From the recommendation of two resident Brother groups at the 2024 InDeed Institute, the National Fraternity prioritized creating a partnership with BetterMynd to provide more mental health support for our Brothers. We believe our partnership will be beneficial for all members, allowing Brothers to improve their mental well-being in a challenging school term.”
“I know how hard it can be for a college student to struggle with their mental health and access the support and treatment they need in a confidential and timely manner,” said BetterMynd Founder and CEO Cody Semrau, “so I founded BetterMynd with a simple mission: to help colleges and universities make mental health support more accessible to their students.”
As part of our partnership, every resident Brother will receive two (2) credits for 50-minute scheduled counseling sessions. To learn more visit https://www.bettermynd.com/resources/how-to-register-in-less-than-5-minutes.
As the National Fraternity offers this new service to members, the National Council approved an increase to the per capita fee. The new rate change is as follows: “every fiscal year the National Treasurer shall propose the per capita fee be increased by the cost of living percentage divided evenly each semester.” For example, a 6% increase would result in a 3% increase in the fall and spring terms.
