​Mindfulness, Resilience, and Well-being Supports for Children, Youth, and Parents

​​​Background

The Budget Act of 2022 provided $75 million for wellness and resilience building supports for children, youth, and parents. $10 million of this funding is being utilized to help scale parent and family support programs across the state. With remaining funds and in partnership with the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE), the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) will disseminate grant funding to each of the 58 County Offices of Education (COEs) to promote wellness and mindfulness programs to support teachers and students in TK-12 schools. The grants aim to support the adoption and equitable access of evidence-based mindfulness, resilience and well-being tools, resources, and programs for teachers, youth, parents and families. In order to promote the well-being of young people in the face of pandemic-accelerated needs and inequities, the program will expand Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) at school sites and continue to build statewide infrastructure and regional capacity to support successful implementation.​
