Fullbloom to acquire CharacterStrong for $720m.

Fullbloom, a child development platform, agreed to acquire CharacterStrong, a provider of multi-tiered school-based mental health solutions, for $720m. “We are excited to welcome CharacterStrong into the FullBloom family. We are focused on providing products and services that allow our school partners to personalize solutions for students who are struggling in school, and CharacterStrong is a perfect complement to our academic and behavioral intervention portfolio. Integrated solutions that consider a student’s academic, behavioral, and mental health needs simultaneously are more likely to accelerate learning, reduce the total cost of treatment, and create safer schools for our students,” Jeffrey Cohen, FullBloom CEO.
