RELEASE U

Release U is an innovative resource and engagement engine, thoughtfully designed to meet the nuanced needs of today’s students.

We offer coaching that flexes to fit each community, and content shaped by identity, lived experience, and cultural context. Our mission is to honor the full spectrum of student journeys — especially those often overlooked — by bridging the gap between campus services and the students they’re meant to reach.

Through targeted communication and evidence-based strategies, we build trust, spark connection, and expand access to care — all grounded in public health research and proven outcomes.


Release U is proudly powered by Release Recovery and builds on the proven success of MANUAL — our behavior change–driven model that’s reached over 70,000 students to date.
