Join Cartwheel as a founding member of our Alaska clinical team, bringing mental health care directly into rural schools across the state.

Cartwheel is the nation’s largest school-centered telehealth provider, partnering with school districts in 16 states to bring therapy, psychiatry, and family support to students who would otherwise wait months for care. We work alongside school staff and we keep parents informed and involved at every step of a student’s care. In Alaska, that means:

• Getting students help earlier, before a problem becomes a crisis
• Keeping families engaged, consulted, and informed throughout care
• Strengthening the relationship between schools, clinicians, and the student’s parents/caregivers

Catching a student who is struggling early, before a problem becomes a crisis, is one of the most effective ways to support kids. As a Cartwheel clinician, you'll help make that possible for students across Alaska.
