Based in the USA, Bend Health is a paediatric mental health care provider that offers virtual appointments, care team chat, and immersive online learning programmes to make it easy for children to access mental health care from the comfort of their homes or schools. The company aims to address the fact that 80% of children who are diagnosed with a mental, emotional, or behavioural condition do not receive treatment. The company’s goal is to foster resilience in children and teens by empowering them with evidence-based tools and teaching them to build resilience through coaching and workshops.
Bend Health offers a range of services to support children’s mental health, including low-intensity cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) based self-help to support resilience, workshops to promote early intervention, and resources for parents to help build their children’s emotional regulation. The company’s team of coaches are experts in empowering resilience and flexibility in kids, teens, and parents to help families flourish. They are able to listen with empathy and compassion, while also teaching children to build resilience through evidence-based tools. Bend Health’s website also provides YouTube clips to support well-being. Bend reports that children and teenagers using their platform see, on average, a 50% reduction in their symptoms.
