BrightLife Kids and Soluna are CalHOPE programs to support the behavioral health of everyone ages 0–25 who lives in California. Both programs are 100% paid for by the State of California. There are no costs attached. No insurance is required. And no referrals are needed.
The Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI) is a $4.7B package of investments initiated by Governor Gavin Newsom to support California’s kids. One of their goals is to give kids and families the opportunity to receive expert behavioral health support in an easy-to-access, digital format.
BrightLife Kids is here! Created by Brightline (an industry leader in pediatric mental health) and 100% paid for by the State of California, BrightLife Kids offers behavioral health coaching to all kids ages 0–12 who live in California.
Insurance isn’t required, no referrals are needed, and there is no cost to the families. Coaching is done in private, 1:1 video sessions and via secure chat. Families are matched with a dedicated coach, so there’s no starting over each time. And families also have access to on-demand digital resources like articles and videos that can help between sessions. Get started at brightlife.kids/ca today!
