Engage. Activate. Impact.
Supporting youth ages 13-17 and their families.
Meeting the moment
Mental health can change quickly in reaction to the life events of young adults ages 13-17, and even the newest recommendations for mental health screenings – while a huge step forward – aren’t enough. The increased impulsivity experienced with developing brains can shift significantly and rapidly in between these assessments, and the shortage of mental health professionals available can leave teens on a wait list for care and place additional stress on the families who support them. Together, we can, and must do better.
When life is hard, Pyx Health can help
Pyx Health’s interventions target youth disconnections and caregiver stress, and help strengthen family resilience, reduce youth isolation, and prevent costly crises.

“My mom cares and loves me, but really doesn’t know how to help me. You and your calls really help me.”

How it Works
Pyx Health’s comprehensive youth and guardian engagement utilizes structured outreach, resource coordination, and early interventions to target caregiver stress and youth disconnection. Our trained youth engagement specialists:
•Engage teens experiencing social withdrawal or loneliness with evidence-based support
•Address identified SDOH needs by linking guardians and youth to targeted resources, ensuring sustained engagement and improving overall family well-being
•Strengthen relationships and emotional well-being through targeted activities, reducing isolation and caregiver strain
•Detect and mitigate risks early, delivering timely interventions that bolster family resilience and ensure lasting support
No wrong door with the right connections
For young adults, a digital app allows them to feel more comfortable interacting with and being vulnerable in a space where they can talk with someone who isn’t directly related to their stresses. And with a phone call or direct message, young adults can connect with a trained Pyx Health staff member who has relatable life experiences for encouragement, compassion and help. This non-judgmental, anonymous environment breaks down the social stigma of therapy and provides an opening to deepen the level of interaction and engagement with trained support staff and reinforced connection with their regular care network. The result? Improved self-management and skill development for long term stability.
The Pyx Health program offers positive tools, feedback and support featuring:
A friendly character, Pyxir, shares insights, humor, and ideas for issues such as bullying, fitting in, body image, and more. Our technology works hand in hand with our skilled team to ensure timely, relevant support.
The platform keeps youth and their guardians connected with local, national and health plan health plan services. We work with care management teams to ensure easy access to resources critical young adults and teens.
The right help, at the right time
Young adults face different challenges than adults. The Pyx Health platform includes youth-specific content to address key issues like bullying, relationship management, and LGBTQIA+ support. Our trained care coordinators are specifically selected for the youth program based on their ability to relate to teens and young adults.
