Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• JED Foundation: Nonprofit that partners with colleges to strengthen mental health and suicide prevention programming. Overlaps with SWAB's mental health and wellness mission and operates at the institutional level rather than student-organization level.
• Active Minds: National nonprofit that supports student-led mental health awareness chapters on hundreds of U.S. college campuses. Comparable to SWAB's Healthy Minds branch but operates at national scale rather than as a single-university program.

Direct peers

• It's On Us: National sexual assault prevention campaign that mobilizes student-led chapters on college campuses. Directly comparable to SWAB's Healthy Communities / Title IX peer-education model.
• NAMI on Campus: National Alliance on Mental Illness student-run clubs on college campuses that promote mental health awareness, education, and peer support. Directly analogous to SWAB's peer-led, branch-style wellness structure.

Emerging players

• ULifeline: Online mental health resource hub for college students run by the JED Foundation. Comparable in focus area to SWAB's Healthy Minds work, but delivered digitally rather than through student ambassadors.
• EVERFI: Provider of online prevention education (sexual misconduct, mental health, wellness) licensed to universities. Comparable to SWAB's Title IX and wellness training mandate but delivered as a SaaS curriculum rather than peer-led programming.

Regional players

• Thrive Student Wellness Program (Pepperdine): Pepperdine's broader university-wide student wellness initiative that sits alongside SWAB and partially overlaps with its Healthy Minds/Bodies/Communities scope. Comparable as a campus wellness program serving the same student population.

Others

• Student Health 101: Wellness content platform distributed through university health centers. Relevant as a content/curriculum complement to peer-led programs like SWAB.
