Daybreak Health delivers scalable, student-centered mental health care with Healthie

Daybreak’s impact is measurable across the students, families, and schools they serve:

• 80% of school staff report improvements in student attendance, grades, and behavior
• 81% of students show improvement on standardized clinical measures (GAD-7/PHQ-9)
• 92% of families report meaningful behavioral improvements at home
• 90% of students say Daybreak matched them with the right clinician based on their preferences, reflecting strong therapeutic alliances

By partnering with Healthie, Daybreak has transformed their operations and care delivery across the board:

• Centralized Platform: Providers now use a single system, improving workflow efficiency and care coordination.
• Reduced Administrative Burden: Integrated communication tools and streamlined workflows free up clinicians to focus on patients.
• Scalable Growth: A flexible, future-ready tech stack supports Daybreak’s mission to expand access to mental health care across more districts.‍
• Stronger Patient Engagement: Secure, user-friendly tools enhance the experience for students and families.

Daybreak Health is a fast-growing provider of K–12 mental health services, offering both teletherapy and in-person programs designed to give every student access to high-quality, affordable, and culturally competent care. Their model is built on a simple belief: every child can benefit from mental health support. By meeting students where they are, at school or at home, Daybreak removes the barriers that too often stand between kids and the care they need.

As Daybreak scaled their evidence-based programs across more districts, their existing systems, including Salesforce, were not designed to handle the complexities of clinical workflows, patient engagement, and care delivery across a distributed network of schools and clinicians.

The leadership team recognized the need for a robust, API-first EHR platform that could:

• Streamline provider workflows and reduce administrative burdens
• Enhance patient engagement through secure, user-friendly communication tools
• Integrate seamlessly with their existing tech stack
• Support rapid growth and evolving care models

Daybreak selected Healthie for its powerful out-of-the-box features and API-first flexibility, enabling them to design custom solutions tailored to their unique needs. The migration was a collaborative process with a clear implementation timeline and comprehensive change management, Daybreak went live in just 4 months.

Provider training sessions ensured clinicians were comfortable with the new system, minimizing disruptions to care delivery. Healthie’s centralized platform replaced multiple tools, simplifying workflows and improving provider satisfaction.

For a team whose goal is to get kids into care as quickly as possible, scheduling efficiency is mission-critical. Healthie’s scheduling tools have made a measurable difference in Daybreak’s ability to match students with the right clinician without delay.

“The UI of scheduling has been incredible for our team. It’s quick and intuitive in Healthie, and saves us a ton of time to match kids with a clinician to get them care as quickly as possible,” shares Camilla Nolen, the Director of Clinical Operations, Daybreak Health

Clinician satisfaction is central to Daybreak’s ability to deliver consistent, high-quality care. Healthie’s workflows have made it easier for providers to stay on top of their tasks, without the cognitive load of navigating a complex system.

“We’ve been craving an easy way for clinicians to understand what they still need to do, and that has been so easy and intuitive for them,” Nolen states about Daybreak clinicians using Healthie.

With Healthie as the foundation of their clinical operations, Daybreak Health is well-positioned to continue expanding access to mental health care for K–12 students across more districts and communities. Their flexible, scalable tech stack ensures the platform can grow alongside their mission.
