Nearly 1 in 5 children have a mental, emotional, or behavioral disorder, with only 20% of those children getting the specialized care they need. Layer in the long-term effects where: (1) 70% of US counties don’t have a single child psychiatrist, and (2) anxiety and depression symptoms have doubled since the pandemic – it’s clear the problem is only increasing across families everywhere.

Started by a Clinical Child Psychologist and a Silicon Valley veteran, together this BIPOC female-founded team has a unique perspective on the mental health demands of working families and is reinventing pediatric mental health for the 21st century.
