Brightline

So honored to be part of this incredible work happening in California!!

The health of children is deeply connected to the well-being of their caregivers. As the Surgeon General Vivek Murthy recently pointed out, more than 40% of parents are so overwhelmed that they can't function on many days. At Brightline, we recognize the importance of helping parents and caregivers manage stress and maintain wellness to better support their children’s mental health. Discover more about this vital connection in the latest MedCity News article, written by Brightline's VP of Therapy, Kendra Read, PhD. https://lnkd.in/ewTNfyEg

The Surgeon General’s advisory on the mental health and well-being of parents yesterday is a clear and urgent call for help. In the advisory, we read that 48% of parents say that most days their stress is completely overwhelming.?[Full study here: https://lnkd.in/g3KKXMdv] These and other stats within are startling but they don’t come as a surprise to us. For years, Brightline has led the way on family-focused programs. We’re the only mental health care company who has consistently produced published and validated results on caregiver strain and how our approach reduces it. Dr. Murthy’s advisory highlights what we have seen and been tracking all along using an instrument called the CGSQ-SF7. Our recently published peer-reviewed study in JMIR outlines caregiver strain, workplace productivity, and absenteeism — along with the powerful and positive impact Brightline has on those affected. Among parents or caregivers experiencing high levels of strain, a reliable improvement in the CGSQ-SF7 was demonstrated in: 78.9% of caregivers with a child in the Brightline coaching program 68.5% of caregivers with a child on the Brightline therapy pathway 65.2% of caregivers with a child in psychiatry treatment with Brightline The severity of the pediatric issues directly correlates to the levels of stress on the parent or caregiver. That escalating strain emerges in mental, physical, emotional, and financial ways — to the tune of $44B. Our programs also address those factors — engagement with Brightline programs results in meaningful reductions in both work absenteeism (down 33%) and financial strain (down 37%) for families. At Brightline, we are professionals and parents, and our focus has never wavered. We provide the expert mental health care that so many kids, teens, and parents/caregivers need. The work we do — and the proven outcomes we obtain — is vital to families. Offering Brightline as part of your benefits package gives your employees a simple, proven solution to a complex, nationally recognized problem. If you missed our study, it seems like there’s never been a better time to catch up. Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/g7iypfKF

?? Check out these moments ?? from our team's events this week and see what parents and health providers are telling us! ?? ?? "I tried to get support through (health insurance company) but there was a waitlist. I'm so happy this is available" ?? "I can't believe this is completely free. My kid is 4 years old and he graduated from a county behavioral support program at 3, so we haven't been able to get him support since then. This is going to be so helpful." ?? A parent shared that her daughter’s father left them without a trace a year ago and the little girl has been struggling since.?The parent expressed trying to get her daughter into therapy, but not being able to get to the only clinic without a waitlist over 45 minutes from their home.?She was so excited at the prospect of BLK’s virtual services to help manage her daughter’s outburst behaviors that have developed since her father left. ?? A mom shared that her daughter had been in counseling for a few months when her counselor went out on leave several months ago and the clinic has not replaced her services.?She was so excited that she could schedule coaching sessions with BrightLife Kids to help her daughter manage her anxiety. ?? A few families expressed relief about having a program that can help support them with their child with ASD or IDD ?? One Kaiser provider in the East Bay literally said "I'm so glad that my tax dollars are being used on this. It makes me proud of CA" ?? A school counselor in East Contra Costa County said that many of the families she serves struggles with knowing what to do with their children at home to keep them off their tech devices and engage in "real life" again. She believes they will benefit from parent coaching in BrightLife Kids. She also shared that it is so important that we have BIPOC coaches because their community typically doesn't see themselves represented in behavioral health spaces. She was beyond grateful that our resource exists. Want to sign up your family or know of a family that can benefit? https://brightlife.kids/ca
