Once in the Preventia App you will see your task list of items to complete: the Lifestyle Based Questionnaire, Select a Provider, and Schedule an Appointment all to begin your care journey.
If more sessions are needed after the 10 free sessions through Preventia and the contract year and not yet renewed, your Preventia provider can assist you to help find a solution that works for your situation. They can help you decide the best path for you, which may include working with a fee-for-service provider.

Each mental health session is up to one hour.
Butler has worked with Preventia to provide 10 mental health sessions for each student. These sessions provide an opportunity to address a wide variety of typical mental health issues and concerns, such as stress, anxiety, grief counseling, depression, etc. Our care providers are all licensed mental health counselors, therapists, or credentialed health and wellness coaches with additional training in mental health first aid or behavioral health.
When you don’t know where to start, or just need to talk to someone, many people connect with a Coach first. Our Coaches are trained to support most daily stress-related concerns and know when you need to be referred for more traditional therapy.
Support Options:
Mental Health Coaching
These are credentialed Health & Wellness Coaches with additional training in mental health. Coaches work with students to create action steps to get “unstuck” in a specific area and are trained to refer students to a counselor or therapist should they need it.
Mental Health Therapy
Licensed mental health professionals who are equipped to help students with traditional therapy that addresses clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, and trauma.
