Mr. William B. Rumford was a pharmacist, legislator, and the first African American elected to state office in Northern California—but his greatest contribution was connecting public health to civil rights.
In 1963, he authored the Fair Housing Bill to end housing discrimination. As a UCSF-trained pharmacist, he drafted critical health and narcotics legislation, understanding that healthy communities require both equitable housing and accessible healthcare.
We honor his vision that civil rights work and public health work are both essential to community wellness.

Your teen’s mood swings might not be hormones. What if it’s the timing of dinner or what’s on the plate?
Sleep and food are more connected than most parents realize — and when teens eat affects how they sleep, which affects how they feel, which affects…everything.

If you’re wondering which specialist your child needs and who does what, we get it — and we’ve got you. It can be challenging to navigate the healthcare system and to know whether a therapist, psychiatrist, or pediatrician is needed.
At Brightline, we handle the navigation for you. We listen and learn about what you’re going through and combine that information with our clinical expertise to match your child with the right provider, coordinate care, and get that care started quickly.
In most cases, you can choose between online or in-person sessions.
No months-long waitlists anymore. No guessing which door to knock on. We’re right here, right with you.

Born into slavery, Ms. Biddy Mason became one of Los Angeles' most important healthcare pioneers.
As a midwife and nurse, she provided life-saving maternal and pediatric care to families across Los Angeles, regardless of their ability to pay. Later, she used her real estate wealth to fund community wellness programs and social services, recognizing that health access should never depend on income.
Her life's work demonstrated what we still believe today: that every family deserves access to quality care, and that investing in community health creates lasting change.

Your teen came home from school quiet. Stopped texting their friends. Said they’re “fine” but you haven’t seen them smile in weeks.
A breakup can feel devastating at any age — and for teens, the neurological impact is real. Their developing brain processes rejection differently than an adult brain.
Many parents try to wait it out, hoping time will help. But when depressive symptoms last beyond 2–3 weeks or start affecting school, sleep, or friendships, that’s your signal to bring in some support.

Did you know that Brightline offers parent management training (PMT)?
If you’re confused about what it is or how it helps, you’re not alone. Naomi Allen, Brightline’s co-founder, had the same reaction when her child was in therapy and PMT was recommended to her.
The video explains what PMT is, but here’s a recap: It’s an evidence-based approach that equips parents with practical skills to manage challenging behaviors — like tantrums, defiance, and emotional outbursts in young children.
Instead of just treating the child, PMT recognizes that parents are one of the most powerful parts of the solution. At Brightline, it’s one of the most common interventions we offer.

For a century, we've celebrated the architects of change who understood that civil rights and mental health are inseparable.
Dr. Dorothy Height spent four decades leading the National Council of Negro Women with a vision that mental wellness belongs at the heart of every movement. Through partnerships with the NIH, she championed pediatric programs centered on Black families, recognizing that healthy development starts with addressing the social forces that shape our lives.
Today, we honor her conviction that caring for our community's mental health isn't separate from the fight for justice—it's fundamental to it.

“I can’t go to school. My stomach hurts. Please don’t make me go!” 😰
When your child is struggling, keeping them home feels like the compassionate choice, which is understandable. But here’s what the science shows:
Avoidance doesn’t make anxiety shrink. It makes it grow.
So what should you do?

Dr. King knew that courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s showing up anyway.
That’s what we see every day in our clinics: kids who walk through our doors despite their anxiety, parents who ask for help when it’s hard, families who choose courage over avoidance.
This MLK Day, we honor his legacy by creating brighter futures for every child. 🧡

There’s no denying that the reason why we work so hard is a tough one. Simply put, it’s because the need for pediatric and family mental health support continues to rise.
And every day — in ways both big and small — we’re reminded why this work matters, and why we love it so much.
Yes, the community impact and results are incredible. The chance to follow a passion and see the difference it makes is undeniable.
But the real magic is in the people we’re surrounded by, even though it’s usually from a distance. So, being able to take a break and come together outside of work to share perspectives, stories, and time is cherished.
Each of us is proud of ourselves, of each other, and of every family we serve. We are filled with gratitude for this work, for the progress we see in kids and teens every day, and for a chance to do it all over again next year.

We’re reinventing behavioral and developmental care for children and families with our technology-enabled, team-based approach. With us, you’re never in this alone.
Family comes first here
Brightline was founded by a team who deeply understand the critical need for better behavioral care for children, because they’ve been there, too. We strive for our care to be nothing short of extraordinary. Everything we do is to support children and families in reaching a brighter future.
We’ve been there, too
Naomi Allen and Giovanni Colella, today our CEO and Executive Chairman, co-founded Brightline because of the ways that behavioral health challenges shaped their lives and their families—for Naomi, with her own young children, and for Giovanni, with his father. So many of us have seen and felt firsthand the impact of behavioral health on families.

Let’s move forward, together
Backed by OAK HC/FT, we’ve convened a team of leading clinicians, technologists, business leaders, and creative thinkers to completely transform what pediatric behavioral health care looks like. We’re building exceptional technology and real-world care to bring a warm, supportive, and goal-oriented experience to families. And we’re all here to help children and families thrive.
