Behavioral Health Virtual Services Platform
The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) recently launched two free online behavioral health service platforms which are available for all California children, youth and young adults regardless of insurance coverage or immigration status. These platforms offer free one-on-one support with live coaches, a library of multimedia resources, wellness exercises, and peer communities monitored by trained behavioral health professionals.

  • BrightLife Kids, available for download on iOS devices in the Apple App Store, is for kids 0-12 years old and their parents or caregivers.
  • Soluna, available for download in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, is for teens and young adults ages 13-25

Both apps have been designed with input from more than 1,000 young people, caregivers, and professionals in the field and complement existing services offered by health plans, counties and schools. Both apps have strict privacy and confidentiality requirements, are monitored by trained professionals, have licensed behavioral health professionals on standby to intervene if clinically appropriate, and can connect users to crisis or emergency services when needed.
