The challenge

Keep first-year students on the path.

First-year pre-nursing students face a demanding start. The college wanted a proactive way to build well-being skills early — and keep its future nurses enrolled.

The approach

Skills in the app. Connect in a group.

Students learned and practiced skills in the WeBeWell app, then met weekly on Zoom for 60 minutes in cohorts of 10–25, led by trained student facilitators overseen by licensed clinicians. This program is not therapy.

    A topic in the app at the start of the week.

    Skills through the week, with in-app reminders.

  3. 03 Reflect

    On what worked, individually.

  4. 04 Connect

    A weekly live group to apply skills.
