Brightside Health is expanding to serve teens ages 13 to 17. These teens can receive therapy and psychiatry services.
Patients receive one-on-one video sessions, messaging with their provider between visits, interactive lessons and progress-tracking on the Brightside app.
The company works with teens on issues that many of them face, like peer pressure, social media challenges, life transitions and self-esteem. The company also engages with the teens’ caregivers when appropriate.
The teen support is currently available in 15 states, though it will roll out to all 50 states by early 2025.
