Daybreak Health provides online mental health services for K-12 students by partnering with schools to expand their teletherapy capacity. Its programs are evidence-based and tailored to individual needs, with specialized sub-programs for high-risk groups (BIPOC, LGBTQ+, low-income students, rural or homeless students). The service operates through schools’ referrals and delivers a full treatment cycle of 12+ weeks, with the aim of improving students’ mental health and, in turn, their academic performance. Unlike providers that offer short-term or generic care, Daybreak Health positions itself as a high-quality, value-driven partner that offers a comprehensive, long-term program rather than a check-the-box solution. The company’s goal is to scale real, lasting improvements in students’ mental health and education outcomes by delivering structured, school-based teletherapy.”}When done.
