"Industry-wide barriers including transportation, waiting times, and cost have all prevented youth and families from receiving the care they need. Through our virtual IOP model, we're helping young people and families heal."
"It's time for a new solution inMichigan," says Allison Walsh JD, VP of Clinical Outreach at Charlie Health. "The youth mental health and suicide crisis is palpable here, with a 70% increase in young adult suicides since 2000. This uptick, however, has not been met with an increase in treatment options. We know from working with communities across the country that youth mental health services are too limited, which only exacerbates this epidemic. Charlie Health is here to reverse these trends and expand access to life-saving care, one client at a time."(Citizens Research Council ofMichigan)

Based on data collected over the course of nine months from 495 adolescent clients, researchers found a 71% decrease in suicidal ideation, a 60% decrease in depressive symptoms, and a 58% decrease in self-harm upon discharge from Charlie Health's program.
Charlie Health's virtual IOP combines evidence-based groups, family therapy, and individual therapy into care plans that allow clients to heal from home, effectively eliminating all traditional barriers to care. The program matches peers based on age, mental health history, and lived experiences. As peer-reviewed research has found, Charlie Health's model produces industry-leading clinical outcomes, including higher attendance rates and lower levels of serious mental health symptoms.
