To help all kids see a bright future, we provide no-cost, expert behavioral health support for California families with children ages 0-12.

Our Approach

We make it easy for parents and kids to get the help they need with live coaching sessions via video, secure chat, and on-demand digital resources.

What does BrightLife Kids offer?

What does BrightLife Kids help parents and caregivers with?

We are here to help you become the parents/caregivers you want to be. How? With a dedicated coach who communicates directly with you and your child to provide expert behavioral health guidance (along with on-demand resources). It's all yours - anytime and from anywhere.

Identify "normal" development and when it's time to seek help

Help kids make friends and show kindness

Help toddlers work through frustration/tantrums

Build patience with defiant behavior

Get their kids to try new things, places, and foods

And much more

Parents/caregivers of kids ages 5-8 get help with:

Learning to express big emotions like sadness, worries, and anger in healthy ways

Encouraging age-appropriate independence and responsibility

Balancing alone time with social time

Finding organizational skills that work for your child

Eating healthy foods that are good for brains and bodies

And much more

Parents/caregivers of kids ages 9-12 partner with coaches to learn how to:

Set boundaries online/on social media (how to use it safely and reduce arguments about where/when/how much is okay)

Stay true to themselves when peer pressure starts

Build communication skills, manage conflict, and increase confidence

Manage relationships at home and friendships at school

Foster inclusivity and self-acceptance

And much more

Our provider really helped our son navigate his big feelings. She was kind and patient and provided many tools that he uses to manage his emotions on a day to day basis.
