OnBalance Welcomes The Catholic University of America to the OnBalance Leadership Council
WASHINGTON, D.C. (November 2025) — OnBalance, the leading provider of AI-powered mental health intelligence, is pleased to welcome The Catholic University of America to the OnBalance Leadership Council.
Catholic University joins a select group of forward-thinking institutions working to transform mental health care in higher education through data-driven mental health care management and coordinated support systems. The university is implementing OnBalance across the entire student population, including their NCAA Division III athletic programs.
With a rich history rooted in faith, academics, and service, Catholic is advancing its mission by investing in AI-driven insights that empower providers to act with clarity, coordination, and confidence. The platform will help care teams at Catholic unify their approach to mental health case management, streamline communication across departments, and improve continuity of care.
“At Catholic University, we believe in providing every student, including our student-athletes, with access to the highest standard of mental health care. This partnership reflects our commitment to meet today’s needs and shape the future of well-being in higher education,” said Dr. Peter Kilpatrick, President of Catholic University. “By partnering with OnBalance, we are investing in a proactive, coordinated, and data-informed approach that will strengthen how we care for our campus community and serve as a model for others.”
“Catholic’s leadership in taking a university-wide approach sends a strong message about the value of integrated mental health care and case management,” said Walt Norley, Founder and CEO of OnBalance. “They understand the power of transforming case data into insights that lead to predictive outcomes and proactive care management. It’s a way to improve decision-making, internal stakeholder communication, and most importantly, to provide the best mental healthcare program for the overall well-being of Catholic University’s student body."
The full student body will also have access to the OnBalance Knowledge Center, a curated library of articles, videos, and tools tailored to the needs of college students. Content spans a range of topics including stress, performance, self-care, and integrates faith-based and spiritual resources aligned with Catholic’s mission to care for the whole person: mind, body, and spirit.
The OnBalance platform uses AI-generated scoring, real-time alerts, and AI dynamic reporting to help care providers identify risk earlier, resolve cases more efficiently, and understand genuine case load management for the care team. Designed for cross-functional collaboration, it supports behavioral health, athletics, student life, and beyond.
This Leadership Council, with the addition of Catholic, includes institutions that are setting a new standard for mental health care management across higher education. Members collaborate on best practices, inform product development, and lead the way in using intelligence to improve outcomes for student-athletes and the broader student body.
