Partnership Spotlight: Butler University

The future of student support just landed Indianapolis!

Wayhaven is proud to announce our latest partnership with Butler University!

At a time when nearly two-thirds of college students report mental health as a leading factor in considering withdrawal, Butler is leaning into innovation and compassion. Through our partnership, students at Butler will now have 24/7 access to campus-specific, AI-powered well-being coaches, meeting them where they are, when they need it most.

Why it matters:

• Butler is bridging tradition and innovation, pairing trusted support services with new tools to help today’s students to help students engage safely and confidentially.

• Wayhaven’s platform is built on Butler’s ecosystem, helping students navigate stress, build resilience, and discover resources tailored to their unique campus experience.

• This collaboration reflects a growing trend in higher education: complementing counseling centers with scalable, proactive support.

Butler students have already begun sharing powerful reflections on their experience with the tool and what it means for their community:

"I really liked how it took in what i was saying and gave feedback that felt real. sometimes apps will just tell you to breathe or something but this one really made me think about what i was feeling and how to move forward."‍

"It was nice to have a confidentially aspect that I wasn’t being vulnerable with a person or being judged"

‍From expanding access to reducing stigma, Butler is helping shape the future of student well-being and Wayhaven is honored to be part of that vision. A huge shout out to Dr. Bridget Yuhas and Dr. Khalilah Marbury for their diligent efforts to make this partnership a reality.

Here’s to a bold, compassionate step forward. Go Dawgs!
