The Twin Cities-based EmpowerU announced on January 5 it had secured $1 million in seed funding. The company, which operates primarily in Minnesota, says the resources will be used to scale its student social emotional learning (SEL) services nationwide.
EmpowerU was launched in 2018 by a group of mental health workers. The company’s product provides both daily SEL learning modules to learners along with one-on-one access to mental health practitioners. It targets some of the more common mental health issues experienced by students: depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.
These resources can be accessed via mobile device or web browser. They are available for K-12 and higher education students.
