We're on a mission to end the youth mental health crisis through equitable access, evidence-based care, and life-saving research

In their words

Client & family testimonials

Parent

"My daughter was acting like herself again."

I really didn't know what to do for my daughter before Charlie Health. I've always felt I've been alone in this. I felt so helpless. Within the first week [of her starting Charlie Health], my daughter was acting like herself again. Charlie Health has given my daughter and me lifelong tools to navigate her anxiety and panic attacks. I've been blown away. I'm very impressed and very happy.

-Tasia C.

Young Adult

"Charlie Health gave me a different perspective on my mental health."

I learned about Charlie Health after going to the emergency room when I was feeling suicidal. The social worker there told me about the program, and it sounded like the best option because I figured something intensive would be good for me. My individual therapist at Charlie Health gave me a different perspective on my mental health and pointed out some coping skills that I already had. I also really liked the group aspect. Having other people around was very helpful. I learned a lot from their contributions.

-Anonymous

Teen

"I cannot say thank you enough to everyone at Charlie Health."

I was struggling with so many different things, and my family was so hurt by my actions. I had to make a really big change, and Charlie Health was the most helpful resource. I cannot say thank you enough to everyone at Charlie Health

-Anonymous

Simple steps toward success
