Wayhaven and EIIA Partner to Bring 24/7 Mental Wellness Support to More Campuses

We’re excited to announce a new strategic partnership between Wayhaven and the Educational & Institutional Insurance Administrators, Inc. (EIIA), unlocking expanded access to 24/7, AI-powered mental health support for EIIA’s member institutions. As campus leaders know, demand for student mental health support has surged, outpacing the capacity of many counseling centers. In response, EIIA sought a partner that could offer both innovation and accessibility. Wayhaven is proud to meet that moment.

“As campuses continue to face growing demands for student well-being, Wayhaven offers an innovative and scalable way to extend support far beyond the counseling center." said Jan Pearson, Vice President of Student Programs at EIIA. "Wayhaven covers your entire student body with 24/7 access to personalized, stigma-free support during late nights, weekends, or in moments when they’re not ready to reach out — and gently connects them back to campus resources, peers, and services.”

This partnership reflects a shared belief: every student deserves mental health support that is safe, immediate, judgment-free, and easy to access.

What This Partnership Means for EIIA Schools
‍Through this collaboration, EIIA member institutions receive exclusive consortium pricing for Wayhaven's AI Well-Being Coaches. Whether schools are looking to expand their mental health offerings, lighten the load on the counseling staff - helping therapists practice at the top of their license as AI Well-Being Coaches support a large swath of students with subclinical needs, or reach students who struggle to raise their hand and ask for help, Wayhaven offers a cost-effective way to support students:

• After hours, on weekends, or when no one else is available
• Without stigma, shame, or waitlists
• With a gentle bridge back to human care when needed

Fall 2025 Cohort Institutions Pay No Implementation Fees
‍To help schools launch in time for New Student Orientation and Welcome Week, Wayhaven is waiving all implementation fees for EIIA institutions that join before August 1. That means no setup costs, a quick deployment with a low-lift for your team, and immediate support for your students when they arrive on campus.

Missed the Webinar? You Can Watch the Replay
‍Last week, Wayhaven's CEO, Christine Nicodemus, our VP of Psychology, Dr. Ash Golden, and I joined EIIA and its member institutions for a webinar to share more about the platform, how schools are using it today, and how easy it is to bring this solution to campus.  If you weren’t able to join, you can watch the recording here.

Why This Matters
‍EIIA schools are high-touch, mission driven institutions who serve diverse and deeply individual student communities. These schools look to EIIA for innovation - solutions that are curated, effective, and aligned with their values. This partnership adds to that commitment. Wayhaven is built to support students on their terms - confidentially, continuously, and with sensitivity to each campus's unique identity.

We're proud to work alongside EIIA to provide compassionate, proactive support for the whole student. ‍
