California Youth Behavioral Health Initiative
The California Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI) is a state-funded program that expands access to mental and behavioral health services for children and youth, helping students receive the care they need to thrive. The program allows school districts to receive funding for eligible services at no cost to families, without affecting insurance coverage, co-pays, deductibles, or access to care outside of school.
