Stanford offers new mental health resource for youth

In building our culture of wellness, Stanford has consistently added resources that address mental well-being. While programs such as Meru Health and the Faculty Staff Help Center connect you with expanded support, we’ve heard your feedback that access to more mental health assistance for your children is more important than ever.

Connecting youth to the care they need

Stanford is now partnering with Brightline to deliver virtual behavioral and mental health services that address the concerns and issues your children are facing. This program is available to employees and their dependent children under 18 who are enrolled in a Stanford medical plan and is an in-network provider or direct-access vendor, depending on your plan’s structure.

How Brightline helps

Brightline’s services are designed for children 18 months to 17 years old, as well parents and caregivers. They can assist you with a range of everyday challenges, including anxiety, depression, behavior issues, cyberbullying, speech delays and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Brightline’s online platform and Premium Connect+ membership provide on-the-go access to personalized resources, interactive exercises, group classes and online chat with a Brightline Coach. Through interactive, 30-minute sessions, youth acquire valuable skills to help them navigate challenges and build resilience. Brightline also offers personalized care by video visits with child and adolescent psychologists, psychiatrists, speech therapists and other professionals. 

Improving mental health

Brightline members enjoy personalized care plans and on-demand support with no wait list. After using Brightline’s services, more than 70% of parents and caregivers report significant improvement in their children’s disruptive behavior and anxiety symptoms. 

Seeing your child’s improvement in turn relieves some of your stress. “We know that we can give parents and caregivers a line of sight into the right care for the child. And that we can bring families support when and where they need it most,” said Naomi Allen, Brightline CEO and Co-founder.
