# Welcome to Brightline

What you’re going through may be new to you, but it’s not new to us. 

Brightline was started by our co-founder, Naomi Allen, when her young son started showing signs of anxiety. She sat on long waitlists and looked through even longer provider directories, and still couldn’t find the help her son needed. 

The whole family could feel the ripple effects of fear and worry, and Naomi knew other parents were in the same position — so she built Brightline to clear the path to better mental health.

We’re here to provide families with the support we believe all families deserve access to. It’s individualized, evidence-based, expert support — the right care at the right time.

## Nominations and awards

We feel honored to work in the pediatric mental health industry and grateful every time we’re recognized for our passion, innovation, and dedication.
