Children and Youth Evidence-Based Practices and Community-Defined Evidence Practices Resource Guide
On June 11, DHCS released the Children and Youth Evidence-Based Practices and Community-Defined Evidence Practices (EBP/CDEP) Resource Guide. Developed with robust input from more than 70 stakeholders, the guide serves as a centralized resource to help providers navigate funding pathways for EBPs and CDEPs through Medi-Cal. The guide is particularly helpful for community-based organizations, schools, counties, and other entities interested in seeking Medi-Cal reimbursement for their behavioral health services. It outlines Medi-Cal billing options for EBPs and CDEPs supported through the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA), and Behavioral Health Community-Based Organized Networks of Equitable Care and Treatment (BH-CONNECT) initiative. Additionally, the guide consolidates information on 43 EBPs, provides reimbursement considerations for CDEPs, and offers strategies for leveraging existing Medi-Cal authorities. For more information, please see DHCS’ December 11, 2025, presentation on the EBP/CDEP Resource Guide.
