Harris Williams advised LearnWell, a portfolio company of 424 Capital, on their sale to Goldman Sachs Alternatives. LearnWell is a premier provider of in-school and virtual mental health, behavioral health, and academic support services for K-12 students. Dedicated to fostering student well-being and academic success, LearnWell partners with school districts to deliver comprehensive, evidence-based interventions through an integrated approach that ensures students receive the critical support they need to navigate challenges and achieve their full potential.

As students and adults navigate growing mental health challenges, investors are seeking differentiated platforms that provide integrated support services and demonstrable results to underserved populations. LearnWell’s 30+ year track record of providing mission-driven, empathetic care, and academic support across the United States positions them for continued growth as a valued partner to districts, families, and healthcare providers.

LearnWell’s suite of integrated offerings includes academic continuity services for children and adolescents absent from school due to mental health treatment, individual and group therapy, psychiatric support, and specialized behavioral interventions, delivered both in-person and virtually. The company's dedication to positive student outcomes has established them as a trusted partner for healthcare facilities and school districts nationwide, with LearnWell teaching over 51,000 students each year through the delivery of more than 629,000 annual hours of instruction.

Goldman Sachs Alternatives’ Sustainable Investing strategy brings significant experience in scaling impact-oriented businesses, as well as the resources and strategic insights to help fuel LearnWell’s growth as it expands its footprint and ability to serve students and communities across the United States.
