Overview
Little Otter Health provides online mental health care for children aged 0-14 and their families through telehealth, including therapy, psychiatry, and family counseling. The service uses an online platform and a proprietary family screening tool to assess needs and create a tailored, coordinated care plan, with care delivered from home and progress tracked toward remission goals. It differentiates itself with a family-centered, personalized approach led by an experienced child-psychiatry clinician and a focus on improving both child and parental mental health. Its goal is to make pediatric mental health care accessible at home and to improve outcomes for children and their families through timely, preventive care.
