As Mental Health Awareness Month, May puts mental wellness on center stage, and TadHealth has timely momentum to match. The Orange County venture led by founder and CEO Ben Greiner has closed a $5.5 million Series A funding round guided by experienced healthcare executives. New board appointments of Robin Richards, Sabrina Horn, and neuropsychiatrist Jim Hudziak, MD, add leadership in scaling technology, communications and clinical science.

Dr. Hudziak has spent more than thirty years studying how environment, genetics, and epigenetics influence brain development and resilience. His expertise will shape platform features that support prevention alongside intervention, keeping more students thriving.

TadHealth’s secure software lets districts connect students, counselors, and families in minutes. Speed matters: one in six US youth aged six to seventeen lives with a mental health disorder each year, yet many schools still lack rapid pathways to evidence‑based care according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). The infusion of capital will expand predictive analytics, integrate Medicaid billing, and support district‑wide rollouts so help reaches students without delay.

The company’s rise comes on the heels of an oversubscribed $1.6 million seed round backed by RevFund, Halcyon Venture Partners, USC Viterbi School of Engineering Venture Fund, and Halcyon Angels. Early believers supplied the runway to prove impact and attract today’s growth‑stage investors.

Recognized every May since 1949, Mental Health Awareness Month builds public understanding and drives action for better access to care National Council for Mental Wellbeing. TadHealth’s milestone shows how targeted innovation and collaborative capital convert awareness into impactful solutions that transform lives and protect future generations.
