Sanvello, a full-spectrum mental health care provider, offers
self-care, coaching, therapy and community — all accessed from a
single app. With this partnership, Bulls players, coaches and front
office staff will be offered access to the full suite of Sanvello’s
services with Sanvello Premium.
Additionally, Sanvello and the Bulls will hold virtual mental
health events throughout the year for teens from three community
partners: Mindfulness Leader, Chicago Run and Chicago Westside
Sports. These events, hosted by Sanvello Chief Medical Officer Dr.

health conversations and share free mental health education and
resources to students and their parents through Sanvello.
Chicagoland teens (13 and older) who participate in the virtual
events will receive one year of free access to Sanvello Premium,
which includes access to its extensive library of engaging
self-care content. Sanvello will also offer one year of free access
to Sanvello Premium + Coaching for each participants’ parents,
which includes meditation; coping tools; and cognitive behavioral
therapy (CBT)-based Guided Journey experiences that help kids stay
engaged, build healthy habits and confidence, and reduce feelings
of stress and anxiety. Through one-on-one messaging and in-app
video classes, parents can learn CBT concepts and how to apply them
at home.
“We’re honored to partner with the Bulls to advance behavioral
health equity in the Chicago area,” says Dr. Monika Roots, chief
medical officer, Sanvello. “This outreach is not about simply
shining a light on the issue, but providing truly accessible
resources to these teens and their families — on their terms, on
their schedule — and we’re able to do that with Sanvello.”

looking for brands that share our values and passion for supporting
