Today, 1 in 5 of children in the US have a diagnosable mental health disorder. However, about half of children who need care do not receive it from a behavioral health provider. As they seek care, families often face waits that are several months long and fees that are prohibitively expensive. Today’s healthcare system is failing our children.
We have set out to rebuild the pediatric behavioral health system from the ground up. At Handspring, our mission is to create a world where our children’s mental health is cared for as much as their physical health is.
We are building a modern clinic for children and families. We deliver a care experience that integrates our digital platform, in-person clinics, and telehealth to deliver the right care, at the right time. In addition to psychotherapy, our services will soon include access to evidence-based content, psychiatry, and medication management for children and families.
