About Fort Health

This is a part-time 1099 remote opportunity requiring appropriate New Jersey or New York State licensing

Fort Health is a child and adolescent mental health company on a mission to broaden access to quality, affordable, and evidence-based mental health services for children aged 4 to 19 and their families. Today, 50% of children in the US with a mental health issue do not receive care, and 60% of US counties do not have even a single practicing psychiatrist. This is a massive area of need, impacting 17M children in the United States with a market size greater than $50B.

Our company's vision is to create an integrated set of support resources to understand, assess, diagnose and treat mental health challenges through digital tools and virtual access to clinicians.
