Every family in America will have access to the mental health care they deserve. With Little Otter, we’re building the kind of support system I wish had existed when I was growing up — one that’s trusted, affordable, and truly meets families where they are. No matter where a family lives or what challenges they face, they should never feel alone in their mental health journey.

On the horizon: what’s coming soon?
This year marks four years of Little Otter — and over 5 million minutes of mental health care delivered to families across the country. It’s an incredible milestone that speaks to the trust families have placed in us and the impact we’re making together.
We’re also celebrating major growth, including our expansion with Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota. Thanks to these expansions, we’re reaching even more families and we’re just getting started. We’re excited for everything ahead as we continue building a future where every American has access to the whole-family mental health care they deserve.
