Read full description
Little Otter Health's services are designed to address the increasing demand for mental health support for children and their families. The company's proprietary screening tool helps to understand the mental health needs of the entire family, enabling the creation of a tailored care plan. This approach has shown promising results, with a higher remission rate for kids after 12 sessions compared to community averages, and significant improvements in parental mental health.
The company's services are delivered online, allowing families to access mental health care from the comfort of their homes. This convenience, coupled with the company's focus on early identification and prevention, positions Little Otter Health as a potential game-changer in the pediatric mental health space.
The company was co-founded by Dr. Helen Egger, a seasoned professional in the field of child mental health with over 30 years of experience. Her previous roles include Division Chief for Child Psychiatry at Duke University School of Medicine and Department Chair and Director of NYU Langone Health Child Study Center.
