Community Outreach Liaison- Los Angeles (Former Teachers/Educators Encouraged to Apply)

Summary

About Daybreak

Daybreak Health (www.daybreakhealth.com) is building the leading digital mental health system for youth.  Our mission is to create a world where every young person benefits from mental health support.

Our mental health system removes all barriers to effective care for young people: we create easy access through our school and pediatrician partners, deliver effective care through evidence-based online therapy integrated with technology, and bring consumer costs to zero through funding partnerships with government agencies and health insurance.  Over the next 5 years, we plan to serve more than 25 million youth who need mental health support.

As a team, we are all aligned with our North Star mission. We collaborate and execute incredibly well by doing more with less (we value efficiency and output over hours worked!) and communicate clearly using writing (vs. unnecessary meetings). We are fully remote with team members nationwide and will stay that way.  We value mental health: the willingness to be vulnerable is a requirement to join Daybreak.   We have regular mental health days (at least once per quarter!).  Lastly, we value fun and hold regular virtual and in-person activities.
