Expanding Access to Child & Youth Behavioral Health Resources for California Communities
NAC + CYBHI Partnership
As part of PHIL’s work through the Northern ACEs Collaborative (NAC) we are excited to partner with California’s Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), to launch a joint effort to expand the reach of critical resources for families, social service providers, and those in schools and related spaces working directly with youth.
This partnership between NAC and CYBHI, a multiyear, multi-billion-dollar effort focused on improving the behavioral health and well-being of children, youth, and families, will expand CYBHI’s reach and impact while also strengthening NAC’s existing cross-sector partnerships and providing an opportunity to build new ones.
Below, learn more about the partnership, sign up for emailed updates from NAC, and explore CYBHI’s extensive library of tools & resources. Together, we can support rural Northern California champions to improve the health of the communities they serve.
Events & Resources
In June 2025, PHIL and its Northern ACEs Collaborative (NAC) hosted a launch event to kick off a new partnership with California’s Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), aimed at increasing access to behavioral health services for families, educators, social service providers, and others working directly with young people. Resource partner representatives from BrightLife Kids, Cal-Map, Mirror app, Open Doors, Safe Spaces, and Soluna app joined the event to share current resources and supports available for children, youth, their families, and others who work directly with youth.
Looking for tools to help support children, youth, and families right now? Explore the CYBHI library of free digital resources to help bring behavioral health services and supports to the spaces where their lives are lived, including online.
