兒童和青少年行為健康倡議（CYBHI）​​ 

DHCS selected Brightline to support the delivery of equitable, appropriate, and timely behavioral health services for more than six million young kids (0-12 years of age) and their families at no cost, beginning on January 1, 2024, as part of the CYBHI. Brightline will offer access to free behavioral health supports via video sessions and chats for parents, caregivers, and their kids to improve emotional well-being and resiliency. It will also provide support and resources, such as interactive digital education and behavioral wellness exercises. Additionally, Brightline will help families find care for kids who need more support than coaching by connecting them to community mental health providers and resources.​​ 

Brightline was selected to provide services that support DHCS’ goal of improving access to critical behavioral health interventions, including services focused on prevention, early intervention, and resiliency/recovery for children and youth. In March 2023, DHCS announced its partnership with Kooth US, which will provide virtual services to youth ages 13-25. Both contracts are part of the $4.7 billion CYBHI, which is a key component of Governor Newsom’s Master Plan for Kids’ Mental Health.​​

More information is available on the EBP/CDEP Grants webpage.​​
