🎒 Why Backpack Healthcare?

Since 2020, we've served 12,000+ kids and families, and 78% of families report that their child is doing better after three months.

We built Backpack because the traditional mental healthcare model wasn't working—for kids, families, or the clinicians trying to help them.

We're creating a different kind of clinical environment: one where providers have flexibility, support, meaningful collaboration, and room to grow.

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

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
