Charlie Health

In 2025, we met rising behavioral health needs head on. More ages, more conditions, more timely access, and measurable results. • Serving more ages: We now care for clients ages 8 to 64, with adults representing more than half of our population. • Treating more needs: We launched dedicated programming for eating disorders and substance use disorders. • Geographic reach: We expanded to 39 states to increase access in communities with limited services. • Access for underserved communities: Medicaid coverage rose to 35%, and representation among Black clients increased year over year. • Earlier intervention: A growing share of referrals are coming from outpatient practices, signaling earlier identification and support. • Outcomes: Clients across all ages reported significant reductions in depression, anxiety, self harm thoughts, and suicidal ideation. We are grateful to every client, clinician, provider, and partner who helped make this possible. Here’s to another year of providing life-saving care.

A powerful story from a Charlie Health former patient in Portland. It’s critical that @GovTinaKotek and the @OHAOregon do everything in their power to protect the lifesaving virtual care that has allowed Ashley and countless others to be with us today.

A message to the Charlie Health community this holiday season. This time of year can hold joy, stress, connection, and heaviness all at once. If you need it, here’s a reminder to carry with you.

As days get shorter and routines get busier, taking care of your mental health matters more than ever. Here are a few simple ways to support yourself through the winter season.

While the holidays can bring connection and gratitude, they can also be a complicated time for many. Here are a few reminders to carry with you this Thanksgiving and beyond.

Today is International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day. At Charlie Health, we stand with everyone who has lost someone to suicide and with those still fighting for hope. This day is a reminder of why our work matters and reinforces our mission to expand access to life-saving behavioral healthcare for those who need it most. With the right resources and support, suicide can be preventable.

The holidays can be tough. Shorter, colder days and family pressures can make this season feel stressful or even lonely. Our Chief Clinical Officer, Dr. Caroline Fenkel, LCSW, DSW sat down with CBS 8 to share practical ways to protect your mental health as we move into the holidays: cbs8.com/video/news/loc….

November is recognized as National Veterans and Military Families Month—a time to honor the strength, sacrifice, and resilience of those who serve and the loved ones who stand beside them. Military families face unique challenges, from frequent moves and long deployments to the emotional toll of military life. At Charlie Health, we understand those challenges and work to make it easier for families to stay supported when life gets complicated. Our outcomes speak for themselves: military-affiliated clients report a 47% reduction in depression and anxiety symptoms after treatment, along with significant improvements in daily functioning.
