Care for the ones who care for everyone

May is Mental Health Awareness Month — a time to pause, notice, and nurture your emotional well-being. It’s also the month during which families celebrate moms (Mother’s Day) and teachers (Teacher Appreciation Week).

We’re shining a light on every kind of caregiver everywhere. Your well-being matters, too, and you can't pour from an empty bucket. But when you feel cared for, it can ripple outward. 

Your well-being isn’t one more thing for you to do. Let this month be a reminder to take time for yourself to slow down, breathe, and find your balance.

A letter from the California State Superintendent

The California Department of Education (CDE), in collaboration with the California Health and Human Services Agency and the Department of Health Care Services, recognizes BrightLife Kids as an essential partner for schools. They not only approve of our program, but also encourage educators to promote our services and incorporate our high-quality behavioral health coaching into their existing wellness supports.

Get support for a family

When a family could benefit from additional behavioral health support, BrightLife Kids makes it easy for you to offer them help. No cost, ever. No insurance or referral needed. All the support you need.

Refer a family to us! They will be able to access free coaching, caregiver support, digital tools, and care coordination without insurance, referrals, or long waitlists.
