        Brightline, a virtual behavioral health provider for families, has announced a second round of layoffs within the past six months, resulting in a further reduction of 20% of its workforce. The company previously announced layoffs in November 2022, during which it laid off 20% of its employees as part of its strategic realignment efforts.

        The company has prioritized the expansion of its team of clinicians and member-facing professionals, which includes therapists, psychiatry providers, coaches, and member support agents. In line with this focus, they have recently hired Dr. Myra Altman as the new chief clinical officer to meet the increasing demand throughout the US. However, Brightline has made the decision to downsize its non-member-facing corporate team.
