As the CEO and co-Founder of Brightside Health, Brad's mission is to ensure everyone has access to life-changing mental health care with measurably better outcomes.
Brightside Health has launched a new program called Crisis Care, specifically designed for individuals with elevated suicide risk. It is initially rolling out in 27 states, with plans to expand across the nation.
Not only is it hard to get care, but it’s hard to find providers who are open to taking that kind of patient and trained in that kind of care. The impact or the byproduct of that gap in the market has been more people dying by suicide, as well as more emergency room visits, more inpatient hospitalizations.
