Bend Health’s Post

Parenting is one of the most rewarding and stressful jobs out there. On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we want to remind all of the caregivers that you’re not alone in navigating the challenges of parenthood. You deserve support and the team at Bend is here to help. We’re happy to report that 4 out 5 caregivers report less stress within a month of their child's enrollment with Bend. Your family’s mental health matters so much to us, so don’t hesitate to reach out and get an appointment right away. ❤️

If you’ve ever been bullied yourself, you know how painful the experience can be. Bullying can have a deep emotional impact on children, teens, and adults. And in more extreme situations, it can lead to physical harm or tragedy. October is #NationalBullyingAwarenessMonth, a perfect time to remind you to always take bullying seriously and not just brush it off as “joking” or “drama.” Read more to learn how to open up the conversation and hope so that you can protect your child against bullying: https://lnkd.in/eKBCvsbG

Bend co-founder and President Monika Roots, MD, FAPA spoke about the need for high acuity care at the Behavioral Health Business INVEST conference this week.

During National Primary Care Week we want to give a BIG shout out to the thousands of pediatricians and family medicine providers who collaborate with Bend. You are truly on the frontlines of youth mental health, and it's our privilege to provide integrated medical and behavioral care with you.

When’s the last time you cooked a meal with your child or went outside for a family nature walk? As parents ourselves, we know it’s not always easy to prioritize well-being, but #ChildHealthDay is a great time to take a small step towards helping your child be the healthiest they can be. By modeling things like nutrition, movement, and nature, you’ll be helping your child build healthier habits that will carry them for a lifetime 💪 

We’re proud to share that Bend Health has joined the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI), a growing and diverse community of organizations committed to advancing the effective and responsible use of AI in healthcare. At Bend, we believe AI has the potential to make mental health care more accessible and impactful, and being part of this coalition strengthens our commitment. We believe that there’s a delicate balance between providing compassionate, human support and using AI to improve how we deliver that care. AI shouldn’t replace clinicians; it should empower them to intervene early and make sure kids get the right support when they need it most.

Join us tomorrow (Oct 4th) for Monika Roots, MD, FAPA, Co-Founder, President, and Chief Medical Officer of Bend Health, at a roundtable conversation about kids’ health with other finalists from the The Digital Health Hub Foundation - Digital Health Awards in the Kids Health category.

It’s an honor to be part of this discussion with such inspiring leaders, and we’re excited to explore how we can work together to improve the future of kids’ health.
