Prevail Health Solutions is a Chicago-based healthcare technology company that created a system for online delivery[1] of evidence-based mental health care. The company aims to create greater access to cost-effective therapy for those who have difficulty seeking and receiving adequate treatment.

Prevail was founded in January 2008 by Richard Gengler,[2] then an MBA student at the University of Chicago. It was born out of the need to provide effective and accessible mental health care to the growing number of veterans [3] returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Gengler, a former US Navy pilot, leveraged his background to create a unique delivery model to bring mental health treatment to returning troops.[4]

Prevail has received grants from the National Science Foundation’s Small Business Innovation Research Program. Additionally, the McCormick Foundation has supported this effort to help returning veterans[5] through a grant to the Veterans' Corporation. Prevail was also awarded a contract through the Veterans Health Administration to deliver mental health care through its online platform.
