What’s included in free parent coaching

BrightLife Kids coaching supports both kids and caregivers with everyday challenges, including:

  • Managing worries and stress

  • Expressing big feelings like sadness, anger, or frustration

  • Navigating social or peer situations

  • Building resilience, problem-solving, and communication skills

Coaching is practical, supportive, and tailored to your child’s age and needs.

Support without financial pressure

BrightLife Kids was created so families don’t have to choose between getting help and managing expenses. Coaching is here to support your child’s emotional growth — and to support you as a caregiver — without adding financial burden.

If you’re living in California and wondering whether BrightLife Kids is right for your family, cost doesn’t have to be part of the decision.
