Wellpoint Increases Access to Mental Healthcare for Children and Young Adults with Addition of InStride Health to Network
Anthem recently welcomed InStride Health, a pediatric anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) treatment provider, to its extensive provider network.
Mona Potter, MD and Kathryn Boger, PhD, ABPP recently partnered with ADAA to host a Q&A Supporting Your Child with Anxiety and/or OCD webinar.
Once seen as an unpleasant feature of childhood – “they’re just being kids” – bullying is now recognized as a serious problem that can have devastating consequences.
Listen to Dr. Kathryn Boger as she shares about being a mother, her “why” behind InStride Health, and all about her new children’s book.
“Shaking or trembling of the hands or other parts of the body are common physical symptoms associated with social anxiety disorder (SAD) and other anxiety conditions.”
“John Voith is the CEO of InStride Health, a technology-enhanced mental health treatment for children and adolescents struggling with moderate to severe anxiety and OCD, co-founded by the clinicians who co-developed the McLean Anxiety Mastery Program at McLean Hospital. “
“Hopelab Invests $1.5M in Five Startups Who Are Redefining Mental Health Care for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC Youth.”
“Our children are facing challenges that didn’t exist just a short while ago. They are growing up with social media, constantly being connected, and the hurried pace of life today, as well as the pandemic, and the often frightening news.”
“InStride’s strategic collaboration with McLean, distinguished by their excellence in clinical care, cutting-edge research, and clinical training, positions us to respond to an urgent need to provide effective and accessible care for children and adolescents with moderate to severe anxiety and OCD.”
“There’s a shortage of providers who provide evidence-based care, take insurance and have the expertise to see kids with moderate to severe anxiety and OCD, there’s long wait lists, and when providers do become available, they’re usually self-pay oriented. That’s very expensive for families. ”
“I also have seen how life-changing the right treatment can be. It has been heartbreaking to see how hard it is for families to get help, with too many kids unnecessarily ending up in emergency rooms or inpatient units, this is why it was essential for us to build InStride and become a bigger part of the solution.”
“The right treatment provides struggling youth with “a powerful way to start to understand the world and to face new and hard challenges. And they will take the skills they learn with them for the rest of their lives.”
“There’s an anxiety epidemic, and increasing numbers of kids are struggling to learn, connect, and thrive. We need to think outside the box about how to tackle this problem.”
“When faced with anxiety, your knee-jerk reaction might be to talk yourself out of it, but this isn’t always helpful. Our body is in such high-alert…mode that talking ourselves down is not going to be powerful enough,”

When a child has an anxiety and/or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a parent’s actions – even with good intentions – can accidentally make things worse. Understanding how parents take part in the anxiety cycle is important in helping kids get better.
Learn how we work with children, teens, young adults, and their caregivers to break the anxiety/avoidance cycle. We help them learn flexible responses to their anxious thoughts and feelings through exposure and response prevention, and acceptance. We create fear hierarchies and work our way through them, one step at a time.
Watch InStride Health’s Director of Coaching discuss her experiences with exposure coaching for youth who are school avoidant. She understands how difficult school avoidance can be for the children, their parents and the school community.
Pediatric mental health experts Drs. Wilmer and Villere share strategies and practical tips for how families and school counselors can navigate school avoidance and successfully help kids return to the classroom.
School avoidance is a term used when a child or teen avoids going to school for an extended period of time and/or consistently arrives late or leaves early. It can happen for a variety of reasons, including emotional distress, which is particularly challenging and the focus of this blog.
Exposure is about gradually facing the people, places, things, situations and activities that cause anxiety so that the brain can create new, more adaptive memories to compete with fear memories.
