Virtual care company Teladoc is partnering with pediatric virtual behavioral health company Brightline to extend mental healthcare options for children, adolescents and their families through Teladoc's platform.

虚拟护理公司Teladoc正与儿科虚拟行为健康公司Brightline合作，通过Teladoc平台为儿童、青少年及其家庭提供心理健康服务。

Brightline offers virtual behavioral health services to children and their families. The company works with employers and major insurers to provide accessible coaching and therapy services.

Brightline为儿童及其家人提供虚拟行为健康服务。该公司与雇主和主要保险公司合作，提供无障碍的辅导和治疗服务。

Through the partnership, members under 18 and their caregivers will have access to Brightline's mental healthcare solutions for a wide range of conditions through Teladoc's virtual 'front door.'

通过该合作关系，18岁以下的会员及其护理人员将可以通过Teladoc的虚拟“前门”获得Brightline针对各种情况的心理健康解决方案

Teladoc previously offered services to individuals 13 years and older. Thanks to the partnership, its offerings will expand to include virtual mental healthcare services for individuals from zero to 13.

Teladoc以前为13岁及以上的个人提供服务。多亏了这一合作关系，它的产品将扩展到包括针对个人的虚拟精神保健服务，从零到13。

The demand for addressing youth mental health needs comes from health plans and employers, Dr. Vidya Raman-Tangella, chief medical officer at Teladoc, told MobiHealthNews.

Teladoc首席医疗官维迪亚·拉曼·坦盖拉博士告诉MobiHealthNews，满足青少年心理健康需求的需求来自健康计划和雇主。

'They are asking us, 'what about these younger individuals? What about the young adults? What about children?'' Dr. Raman-Tangella said. 'And it's mind-blowing the kinds of issues we're seeing these days that we didn't see five to 10 years ago.'

“他们在问我们，‘这些年轻人呢？年轻人呢？孩子们呢拉曼·坦盖拉博士说这些天我们看到的问题令人震惊，而这些问题是五到十年前我们没有看到的。”

Almost 20% of children and young people ages three to 17 in the U.S. have an emotional,  mental, behavioral or developmental disorder, and there was a 40% increase in suicidal behaviors among high school students in the decade before 2019, according to an NIH report.

美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）的一份报告显示，美国3至17岁的儿童和青少年中，近20%患有情绪，心理，行为或发育障碍，2019年之前的十年中，高中生自杀行为增加了40%。

'Those folks will have access to this robust service,' Myra Altman, chief clinical officer at Brightline, told MobiHealthNews.

Brightline首席临床官迈拉·奥特曼（MyraAltman）告诉MobiHealthNews，“这些人将获得这项强大的服务。”。

'It can be confusing for folks when they have a lot of benefits but they don't know what benefits they have access to. So often, I think, people don't know where to look. And so if you have that one streamlined place where you can look and be guided, that will be incredibly helpful.'

“人们可能会感到困惑，因为他们有很多好处，但他们不知道自己可以获得哪些好处。我认为，人们通常不知道该去哪里寻找。因此，如果你有一个流线型的地方，你可以在那里观看和被引导，那将非常有用。”

Dr. Raman-Tangella said it is not enough to just care for the child or the teenager. Companies have to think about the continuity of care and take care of the family.

拉曼·坦盖拉博士说，仅仅照顾孩子或青少年是不够的。公司必须考虑照顾和照顾家庭的连续性。

'Family members, caregivers, they go through their own ups and downs. How many of us know people with children going through challenges and you see the stress in the mother's eyes? We want to be able to take care of them,' she said.

“家庭成员、照顾者，他们会经历自己的跌宕起伏。我们中有多少人知道有孩子的人正在经历挑战，而你从母亲的眼中看到了压力？她说，我们希望能够照顾他们。

The companies said the youth mental health services will complement Teladoc and Brightline's current offerings, allowing for continuity of care and helping family members struggling to address the needs of these children.

这些公司表示，青少年心理健康服务将补充Teladoc和Brightline目前提供的服务，允许持续护理，并帮助努力满足这些儿童需求的家庭成员。

'I know kids that have difficulty accessing mental health care. So, expanding access to that type of care is very important and valuable,' Dr. Raman-Tangella said.

“我知道那些难以获得心理保健的孩子。因此，扩大获得此类护理的机会非常重要和有价值。

The youth mental health offering will be in place for select clients in 2024 via Teladoc's platform with the broader launch in 2025 for the general public.

2024年，将通过Teladoc平台为部分客户提供青少年心理健康服务，2025年将为公众推出更广泛的服务。
