What is the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI)?
This new law requires school districts to partner with health service providers, including Medi-Cal and private insurers, to support students' social and emotional health services. The initiative will be designed and implemented in partnership with Cal HHS departments, education community partners from early childhood, K–12, and higher education, other State agencies, subject matter experts, community partners on the ground and in the field, and children, youth, and their families. Focusing on prevention and early intervention can help reduce children and youth’s risk of developing serious mental, emotional, and behavioral challenges
The CYBHI allows Oakley Union Elementary School District to receive reimbursements for eligible behavioral health services already provided in school, including screening, assessments, and ongoing mental health support for our students. This reimbursement will come directly from the insurance companies that cover the students, at no cost to the parents or caregivers. This program will not affect families’ insurance coverage, and receiving services at school will not reduce or impact students or their families' ability to obtain care outside of school.
As this program is launched in our schools, parents/guardians will be asked for their students’ health insurance information. All health information will be securely stored and shared only in accordance with existing federal and state laws. For more information, please contact Natalie Wilson at nwilson@ouesd.k12.ca.us
