And if it doesn’t, we make adjustments, ensuring every child gets the care they need.* ### Before care: - Assess risk, establish a baseline for care, and coordinate any needed referrals - Measure anxiety and depression symptoms - Assess and monitor caregiver stress levels - Establish goals ![Wrapper for eLoIOZv2UmnXo2AZoUWqk](https://images.ctfassets.net/96gdpqkm7elu/6GyZNPg4BNqsfmYEDzGeC2/a2c124a708a68f7b2e7664eb89660dc8/squiggle-star-right.svg) ### During care: - Track goals weekly - Assess symptoms monthly - Provide resources such as digital skill-building exercises ![Wrapper for 6GyZNPg4BNqsfmYEDzGeC2](https://images.ctfassets.net/96gdpqkm7elu/6GyZNPg4BNqsfmYEDzGeC2/a2c124a708a68f7b2e7664eb89660dc8/squiggle-star-right.svg) ### At the end of care: - Measure anxiety and depression symptoms - Assess and monitor caregiver stress levels - Include referrals (as needed) as we end care ![Wrapper for eLoIOZv2UmnXo2AZoUWqk](https://images.ctfassets.net/96gdpqkm7elu/6GyZNPg4BNqsfmYEDzGeC2/a2c124a708a68f7b2e7664eb89660dc8/squiggle-star-right.svg) ![Wrapper for 18vlg91qs1Uhmz298jGJ7a](https://images.ctfassets.net/96gdpqkm7elu/18vlg91qs1Uhmz298jGJ7a/b3258a80e8f6517f0933cd3981218180/loving-embrace-mother-child-natural-hair.jpg.jpg) ## Hear from Brightline parents “The care we received through Brightline was top notch. The provider knew just how to help and incorporated my daughter's interests into therapy. Our provider had answers on how to help regulate emotions that we'd never considered. The whole process was super streamlined. I can't recommend Brightline enough!” “Brightline has been a ray of light on our family! We communicate in healthier ways and work through each day and each problem without all the fussing. I'm so thankful for Lauren and the guidance she provided for my son and our family. Our care at Brightline is exceptional!” “Working with our Brightline therapist has given my son new confidence that he can manage his anxiety through the different techniques given. He also has really benefited from having an adult who is not a parent to talk through his emotions and experiences.” “My son was very nervous about therapy, but he instantly connected with his therapist and looked forward to chatting with her each week and telling others about his positive experience. I noticed improvements in his mood and behavior after only a few sessions. I'm very thankful for Brightline!” “I highly recommend placing your child in the amazing care of Brightline's therapists. My child went from instantly aggressive with no remorse to the amazing kid I've always known he could be. I understand him in a better way with the insights provided to me from his therapist and I'm forever grateful. Can’t recommend this program enough.” ![Wrapper for 21Enft9UNWepIrzL6MAU4C](https://images.ctfassets.net/96gdpqkm7elu/21Enft9UNWepIrzL6MAU4C/2ebb639c7852d3d5b3c20f3e74f71391/father-son-shoulder-ride-outdoor-happy-moment.jpg.jpg)
