Nearly one in five children in the U.S. have a mental, emotional or behavioral health problem in any given year, but only 20% are receiving care. Shortages in child and adolescent mental health care are severe, but Brightline is changing that. WTW’s Steve Blumenfield and Siupo Becker talk with co-founder and CEO Naomi Allen about how her company is helping employers support the children of parent-employees and, in turn, how that’s improving the wellbeing of employees.
