Bend. Don’t break. Whole family mental health care.

About us

Bend Health, Inc. is a national provider of pediatric mental health for kids, teens, young adults, and their families. We believe whole family mental health starts with a strong foundation of resilience to cope with whatever life blows your way. Our peer-reviewed results demonstrate that more than 80% of members enrolled in Bend feel better within 60 to 90 days. We are revolutionizing the treatment of mental health conditions for kids and teens through a novel data-driven technology platform and evidence-based collaborative care model that enables the first scalable and integrated care solution in mental health. Through coaching, therapy and reduced time to evaluation and treatment by licensed pediatric psychiatry experts, our approach achieves better outcomes and results in happier, healthier kids and teens, while ensuring stigma, cost, and logistics are no longer barriers to care. Our founding team has been in both technology and healthcare for nearly twenty years, as individual contributors, and executives, in both private practices and at companies including Oracle, Optum, UnitedHealth Group and Teladoc Health.

    There’s a lot of debate right now about the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission and its push to scrutinize psychiatric medications for kids. I spoke with Chris Larson at Behavioral Health Business about why we need to be careful when we frame medications as the problem rather than looking at the bigger picture of kids’ mental health care. The reality is, mental health conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and depression are biological conditions. Kids deserve care that’s guided by evidence and their unique needs, not broad policy debates. And here’s what the evidence says: 💡 Medication alone isn’t the answer, but neither is eliminating it. The best care happens when therapy, medication, and family support work together, personalized to each child. 💡 Overprescribing is a concern. We need to recognize, though, that medication is sometimes being used as a last resort when other evidence-based support like coaching and therapy isn’t accessible. 💡Instead of limiting options, we need to focus on early intervention, integrated care, and better behavioral health support. Would love to hear your thoughts on how we get this right. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gK2SxQgP #youthmentalhealth #behavioralhealth #healthcareaccess #healthpolicy #MAHA

  • We know that being a working parent is a constant juggle and, thanks to our awesome employer partners, we’re able to bring impactful mental health support straight to millions of employees and their families. In fact, as we end Q1, we’re thrilled we have 500 employers in Bend’s network! Did you know? Four out of five caregivers report less stress within a month of their child's enrollment with Bend. Reach out if your company is interested in breaking down barriers to care right along with us! #benefits #hr
