to be the most useful. We are currently exploring services and comparing costs of a few different platforms, including Mantra Health and Timely Care.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Looking forward to hearing what your institutions are finding with the growing number of mental health contacts on campus. Please share any pro’s and con’s or other insight you may have in regards to such resources.<u></u><u></u></p>
