The top 25 largest school districts across the state of California are now partnered with BrightLife Kids!
We partner with therapists, pediatricians, health plans, provider groups, and care teams across California. These partnerships give families somewhere to turn between visits, when they’re on waitlists, or when their challenges don’t require clinical-level care.
We understand the importance of clinical integrity and continuity, and we work in tandem with you. Our behavioral health coaching is augmentative, enhancing the high-acuity care you work so hard to deliver.
We focus on prevention and early intervention, helping families build skills and manage everyday challenges between sessions with a clinician
We provide care grounded in evidence-informed approaches, including CBT- and DBT-informed techniques
Coaches are trained professionals with experience supporting kids and families
We maintain clear boundaries between coaching and therapy
We center on whole-family support. Kids don’t exist in isolation — neither should their care.
BrightLife Kids is not a substitute for clinical care. It’s a way to extend care beyond the office, ensuring families have needed guidance, tools, and community. By connecting families to BrightLife Kids, you can help bridge the gap between visits and make sure parents and children are getting the support they need when they need it.
