Daily life can be tough. Everyone experiences difficult emotions. Sometimes we could all use a little extra help. Scout offers evidence-based tips, tools, and activities to help you develop skills to build resilience and manage your everyday mental health.

SIGN UP

Here's How it works:

When you join Scout, you are connected to a personal guide who is ready to support you over text and/or phone calls over the course of 12 weeks.
Respond to weekly check-ins to share how you’re feeling. Based on your answers, Scout will send you tips, activities, and educational materials to support you.
In addition to personalized responses, Scout also sends materials on topics like medication, mindfulness, sleep, nutrition, worry, communicating with friends and family, and more to help you better understand your experiences and take steps towards self-management.

Caregivers

Scout is here for caregivers too. You will receive weekly caregiver content to build knowledge and skills that help you provide the support your loved one needs (and hopefully give you a boost when you need one, too!).

Healthcare Providers

With or without a formal diagnosis, mental health experiences such as anxiety and/or depression can leave a young person and their caregiver feeling confused, frustrated, and overwhelmed. As they navigate the path forward, formal clinical care with a therapist or doctor is critical for some, but many young people can benefit from additional support as well.

Scout was co-designed with clinical experts and young people to build self-management skills and everyday resilience by providing tools, activities, and resources for participants. Here’s how it works:

GET IN TOUCH

Here's How it works:

After enrollment, the teen or young adult receives a welcome email from a non-clinical Scout guide with the option to opt into text reminders.
Weekly symptom screeners help personalize content and activities across important themes like sleep, nutrition, physical activity, and more.
Standard modules of educational content and activities provide key information on topics like medication, mood, mindfulness, and symptom management.
Regular engagement on the platform helps the youth build healthy routines and proactively manage their everyday mental health.

We are making Scout by Sutter Health available for partnerships with health systems and providers.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, Scout is not intended to replace your regular healthcare or mental healthcare. Though the materials and activities on Scout have been clinically validated by Sutter Health network medical professionals, the program has been designed to support you in a non-clinical way by providing information and activities that can help you build skills to self-manage your mental health in your everyday life.

Please note that you may participate in the Scout program whether you are currently engaged with a medical provider, taking medications or doing neither of those things. Scout is here to support you wherever you are in your journey.

The Scout program is designed to support you over the course of 12 weeks. We encourage your participation throughout this time and encourage you to continue to use its tools in the long term!

Youth and caregivers are connected to non-clinical navigators called "Scout guides." These individuals work to help create a warm, friendly and personable experience on Scout. The guides are non-clinical and are not meant to replace the care of a formal clinician or provider, but are there to support you while on Scout.

No, Scout is not an app. Scout is a virtual and mobile-friendly platform. Every week, you will receive check-ins from your guide, personalized content and activities that you can complete directly from your cell phone or computer.

Yes! Scout is also available for caregivers. Caregivers may receive information and tools designed to help them understand, support and connect with their loved ones. Caregivers can join whether or not they have a loved one enrolled in the program.

None! The youth and caregiver profiles are completely separate to allow for full ownership of their experience. This means that caregivers will not be able to see answers provided by youth, unless the loved one shares directly with them. All caregiver content is kept confidential.
