Personalized support for California families. Kids ages 0–12 receive free, expert coaching to help with things like separation anxiety, worry, and social skills. Includes live, 1:1 video sessions, secure chat, on-demand articles, and more.
No cost. No insurance needed. All right from home.
Everything BrightLife Kids offers* is fully paid for by the State of California. Together, we are working to ensure all California families can find the behavioral health support they need, when they need it. If you have a California zip code and a child ages 0–12, you’re qualified.
We’re here for everyone — and free for everyone.
*BrightLife Kids is a program created by Brightline. Therapy is not included as part of the free BrightLife Kids coaching program. Therapy is recommended for kids who require close monitoring for safety reasons, have been struggling for a long time, or have more complex challenges that are significantly impacting their day-to-day life. The cost of therapy may be lower if it is covered by insurance. If you have insurance and therapy is recommended for your child, we can help you identify resources in your area.
