About Daybreak Health – Transforming Student Mental Health Nationwide
Daybreak Health is a fast‑growing, purpose‑driven organization dedicated to turning the tide on student mental health across the United States. Partnering with more than 60 school districts, we deliver evidence‑based, culturally responsive teletherapy that helps children and adolescents overcome barriers, build resilience, and thrive academically and personally. Our vision is simple yet powerful: every student should have the emotional foundation to learn, grow, and succeed. To achieve this, we bring together an elite team of licensed clinicians, cutting‑edge technology, and a supportive community that values diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. As a remote therapist with Daybreak, you’ll join a mission‑centric network that celebrates impact, offers continuous learning, and rewards excellence.

- High‑Impact Client Matchmaking: 90 % of our student‑clients report feeling they were paired with the right clinician, ensuring meaningful therapeutic relationships.
