Who we are

We’ve served 12,000+ kids and families since 2020. 78% of families report their child is doing better after three months. We built Backpack because the old model wasn’t working — for kids or for the clinicians trying to help them.

When clinicians thrive, kids thrive. That’s not a tagline. It’s how we build.
