California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) announced a Request for Application (RFA) for the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI).
DHCS will award grants, totaling $100M, to scale trauma-informed programs and practices throughout California to support wellness and build resilience of children, youth, and those individuals who are close to them. Interested parties are encouraged to apply for training and/or implementation funding using this application form by April 10, 2023, at 5:00 p.m.
DHCS is seeking proposals from individuals, organizations, and agencies for grant funding totaling $100 million to scale evidence-based practices whose focuses include:
- Increasing early intervention
- Supporting resilience of youth by mitigating the adverse effects of ACES
- Cultivating safe and stable learning environments
- Improving the availability of services for pregnant and parenting people
- Reducing health disparities by improving access to services that are culturally responsive
Mind Matters: Overcoming Adversity and Building Resilience addresses these key areas, has significant evidence as to its efficacy, and can be readily scaled to both youth and the adults who care about them in a wide variety of settings.
According to the funder, applicants may propose to use an EBP that is not on the list so long as they include information about its evidence in their application. We have developed a CYBHI toolkit to help you apply for this funding using Mind Matters as your intervention or your training topic.
