What is CYBHI?
The California Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI) is a state program designed to expand access to school-based mental and behavioral health supports for students. Through CYBHI, schools can receive reimbursement for counseling and wellness services provided on campus.
What this means for parents and students:
- Parents will not be billed—all costs are covered through state funding and reimbursement.
- The district collects insurance information only so that it can be submitted for reimbursement. This ensures schools are able to sustain and grow student mental health services without creating any financial burden for families.
