Equitable Access

Mental health resource “deserts” in rural areas make it difficult for young people to access care. With Daybreak’s teletherapy programs, students can have access to qualified mental health professionals and can meet with them whenever and wherever is most convenient. This means no time missed from school or work to get a student the support they need.

Speed to Care

Once a student is referred to Daybreak’s services, and their parent/guardian has confirmed consent, an intake appointment is set up with one of Daybreak’s care coordinators. After intake, it takes an average of 7 days to get a student access to care with a qualified clinician matched to their specific needs.

Affordable for Families

Our mission is to make quality mental health support available for all students and families. By partnering with districts and insurance providers, there is no cost to families to access these school-based services.

Culturally Responsive

Daybreak has specialized sub-programs built for the unique needs of those children who are at higher risk of mental health challenges including youth who are: BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, low income, living in rural areas, and/or experiencing homelessness. Every student is matched with a clinician based on their needs and preferences. Daybreak's clinicians specialize across 26 different mental health conditions and 13 modalities of care, speak 10 languages, 74% report as BIPOC, and 14% report as members of the LGTBQIA+ community.

Proven Outcomes

Specific student subpopulations are at a higher risk of mental health challenges including youth who are: BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, low income, living in rural areas, and/or experiencing homelessness. With Tulsa’s minority enrollment of ~78% and ~80% of students who are economically disadvantaged, we have specialized sub-programs built for their unique needs.
