A new collaboration between Cartwheel and Bradley Hospital will make mental health care services more accessible to students in 50+ school districts across New England, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
The virtual Bradley REACH program can provide individual, group, and family therapy, along with tutoring and support groups, for students struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, or any other mental or behavioral health concern. The program is fully virtual and can last for up to 6+ hours a day, Monday through Friday.
“When a student is facing an acute mental health need, school districts and families often struggle to find effective and timely support. But most telehealth solutions can’t safely serve students in crisis. We’re thrilled to now offer schools working with Cartwheel seamless access to Bradley REACH’s virtual partial hospitalization program,” said Juliana Chen, MD, Cartwheel’s Chief Medical Officer.
Cartwheel is a Boston-based telehealth platform that provides mental health services, including live video consultations, for schools and families. The company’s mission is to be the trusted mental health partner to schools, providing innovative and accessible solutions that meet the needs of students and families.
Bradley REACH is the first psychiatric hospital in the U.S. devoted to children and adolescents and is committed to providing high-quality, intensive behavioral health support services. The program is made possible through partnerships with Cartwheel and other leading providers. This collaboration aims to strengthen school districts’ ability to get students the right care where and when they need it most.
