Why We Launched Trekwise: A Journey of Passion, Humor, and Authenticity
Wednesday, Jul 31, 2024
When my two close friends and I launched Trekwise—a behavioral health company for pediatric patients—it wasn’t just a business venture; it was a mission. With a successful pediatrician and a seasoned entrepreneur-psychologist by my side, we shared a deep passion for helping kids. We knew pediatricians needed a reliable, effective care solution that truly met and surpassed their patients' needs. Trekwise was born from that shared vision and commitment.
Pediatricians are on the front lines, facing the complex challenges of children's mental health daily. They want a solution that’s reliable and adaptable, one they can recommend without hesitation. They seek a partner who understands that the path to better mental health for children often begins with guiding and supporting parents.
In the United States, approximately 1 in 6 children aged 2-8 years (17.4%) have a diagnosed mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder. The journey from childhood through adolescence is fraught with challenges, and we saw a clear need to provide structured, effective support for parents with kids aged 5-18.
At Trekwise, we pride ourselves on our data-driven approach. Our methods are backed by scientific research, ensuring that the support we provide is both effective and evidence-based. Our aim is to create lasting, positive changes in the lives of children and their families. According to the CDC, early diagnosis and appropriate services for children and their families can make a significant difference in the lives of children with mental disorders.
As Albert Einstein once said, "It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men." This quote resonates deeply with our mission at Trekwise. We believe in building strong, resilient children who can navigate life's challenges with confidence and support.
Imagine if managing kids' mental health was as easy as navigating with a GPS—just enter the destination and follow the route. While it's not quite that simple, with Trekwise, we're making the process a whole lot easier for parents and pediatricians alike.
Launching Trekwise has been a thrilling trek filled with passion and a commitment to authenticity. We're not just another health service; we're a dedicated team focused on transforming the landscape of pediatric mental health. By working closely with parents, guided by the wisdom and insights of pediatricians, we're charting a course toward healthier, happier kids.
Thank you for joining us on this trek. The path may be challenging, but with humor, heart, and a bit of data-driven magic, we’re confident that we can make a significant difference. Here’s to building strong children, one step at a time.
