Brightn Partners with Rockland Community College

Brightn, a leading provider of mental wellness solutions, is proud to announce a groundbreaking partnership with Rockland Community College (RCC), making Brightn’s innovative mental wellness planning app available to all students at RCC at no cost.

This collaboration marks a significant milestone for both organizations. Regarding RCC, it underscores a steadfast commitment to continuously prioritize the mental health and well-being of its students by providing access to cutting-edge resources. By implementing Brightn’s app, RCC will position itself at the forefront of mental wellness initiatives among educational institutions.

Brightn, in turn, is thrilled to embark on its inaugural partnership with an educational institution. As the first school to join forces with Brightn, RCC sets a precedent for fostering mental wellness within the academic community. This collaboration underscores Brightn’s mission to empower individuals with the tools they need to proactively manage their mental health.

“We are excited to partner with Rockland Community College to offer our mental wellness planning app to their students,” said Jeff Johnston, CEO of Brightn. “This partnership reflects our dedication to supporting the well-being of students and providing accessible resources to help them thrive academically, emotionally, and personally.”

Brightn’s app offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to assist Thrivers (app users) in developing personalized mental wellness plans. Through goal setting, mood tracking, mindfulness exercises, and educational resources, Brightn equips Thrivers with practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges.

“Rockland Community College is thrilled to announce its collaboration with Brightn, bringing their advanced mental wellness app to our students. This move not only reflects our deep dedication to student mental health but also positions us at the forefront of academic institutions that give priority to mental well-being,” said Dr. Lester Sandres Rápalo, President of Rockland Community College. “With Brightn's extensive resources now accessible to our students, we're equipping them to proactively manage their mental health, which is essential for their academic performance, emotional balance, and overall personal development.”
