Parente AI

Parente is an AI-powered platform designed for mental health professionals to deliver evidence-based parent-led interventions for children with behavioral and mental health challenges. The platform combines clinical expertise with an AI agent named Pat that provides round-the-clock support to parents between therapy sessions, extending clinical work into everyday parenting situations.

Key Features

• Pat AI agent available 24/7 that provides step-by-step guidance, treatment reminders, and in-the-moment coaching during behavioral episodes
• Clinical dashboard for professionals to review parents conversations with Pat, discuss cases with the AI, and receive concise summaries and recommendations
• Evidence-based intervention programs grounded in established clinical protocols including Parent Management Training and Parent-Led CBT
• Mobile app for parents with bilingual English and Spanish support for daily guidance and skill-building
• Comprehensive family behavioral assessment to identify specific challenges and match families to appropriate programs
• Progress tracking, resource libraries, and secure communication between families and clinical teams

Conditions Treated

Parente addresses a range of childhood conditions through specialized parent-led interventions. For disruptive behaviors, the platform covers oppositional defiant disorder, ADHD, intermittent explosive disorder, autism spectrum disorder (level 1), and conduct disorder. For anxiety, it addresses generalized anxiety, separation anxiety, and social anxiety. For mood-related challenges, it covers emotion dysregulation, irritability, and mild depressive symptoms. The platform also supports complex conditions including PTSD and OCD.

How It Works

Clinicians sign up their clients and assign evidence-based programs through the platform. Parents receive a mobile app that delivers daily guidance, treatment reminders, and coaching. Between sessions, Pat teaches parenting skills and provides support during behavioral challenges. Before each therapy session, the clinician receives a summary of the parent activity and Pat recommendations for more focused care.

Pricing

Parente offers comprehensive monthly plans at $200 per month, compared to traditional therapy sessions that typically cost between $195 and $350 per session. The platform serves families with bilingual English and Spanish capabilities, with Medi-Cal billing planned for future availability.

Evidence Base

Parente draws from established clinical research. For childhood anxiety, the platform follows protocols from the SPACE program developed by Eli Lebowitz and Parent-Led CBT by Cathy Creswell. For disruptive behavior disorders, the approach is based on Parent Management Training by Russell Barkley and Alan Kazdin. Studies cited by Parente indicate 70 to 80 percent improvement rates in child behavioral problems with parent-led interventions, sustained long-term outcomes, and reduced parental stress.
