Mga Update sa Programa
Naglabas ang California ng Patnubay sa Bagong Pederal na Panuntunan sa Pampublikong Singil
On September 29, DHCS will launch the second phase of a communications campaign to promote California’s 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. This effort builds on the first phase of the 988 communications campaign and will feature digital audio (i.e., streaming radio spots) and social media posts targeting Californians ages 15 to 24. The ads encourage texting, chatting, or calling 988 whenever crisis support is needed. The campaign will run through January 19, 2027. The first phase of the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline communications campaign launched in September 2025 and ran through January 2026. The campaign included a series of billboards and posters across California, with a focus on youth and young adult men. As a component of this effort, a Tribal-specific billboard series also ran from October 2025 through January 2026. Both phases of the 988 communications campaign are part of California’s broader 988 communications plan funded through DHCS’ 2023-2026 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration 988 States and Territories Cooperative Agreement grant. For more information, please see the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline webpage or email 988@dhcs.ca.gov.
Day of Action for Suicide Prevention Month and National Recovery Month
On September 30, DHCS, in partnership with Soluna, a free, confidential mental health app funded by DHCS that offers youth, young adults, and families access to timely, culturally responsive, and confidential mental health support, will host a Day of Action to mark the last day of Suicide Prevention Month and National Recovery Month. The vision for the day is inspired and led by Soluna Youth Ambassadors. The day will include virtual gatherings across the state as well as two in-person community activations. The in-person events will be in Los Angeles (UCLA, from 12 to 2 p.m.), which will focus on reaching college students, student organizations, and community members, and Sacramento (West Side of Capitol Park, from 4 to 6 p.m.), which will reach youth, parents and caregivers, educators, and community partners. The in-person events will be celebratory and community-driven, with music, hands-on activities, and brief remarks from young people and local leaders. Soluna is part of the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative, a multi-year effort to reimagine behavioral health for California’s children and youth.

Kung sakaling Nalampasan Mo Ito
New Federal Public Charge Rule Guidance
On September 18, the federal government’s new Public Charge Rule took effect. The new rule changes how the federal government considers certain public benefits in public charge determinations. It does not apply to everyone, and its impact depends on individual circumstances. The California Health and Human Services Agency released resources explaining the new rule, including what it means and how it may affect individuals and families. Additional materials will be added as new information is released. Californians with questions or concerns are encouraged to review these resources, seek information from trusted sources, and consult qualified immigration legal service providers for advice specific to their situation. Please visit the Public Charge website for information, updates, and resources, and can find a list of nonprofit organizations qualified to provide immigration legal services through the California Department of Social Services.
