Lyra Health, a leading provider of mental health benefits for employers, has acquired Bend Health Inc., a leader in pediatric mental health care. This acquisition aims to address the growing youth mental health crisis, as nearly one in five children faces a mental, emotional, or behavioral disorder, while 80% lack specialized support.
With over 20 million members globally, Lyra’s extensive reach and Bend’s expertise will enhance Lyra’s pediatric and neurodiversity capabilities, providing access to specialized providers, neuropsychological evaluations, and virtual intensive outpatient care.
Together, Lyra and Bend can make a meaningful impact in helping more families lead fulfilling lives.
