Behavioral Health - CYBHI
Children and Youth Behavioral
Health Initiative: CYBHI
WHAT IS CYBHI?
The Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI) is a statewide effort to expand access to mental and behavioral health services for students in California schools. Monrovia Schools are proud to partner with this initiative to provide free, confidential, and on-campus services to support student wellness.
These services are available at no cost to families and are reimbursed through the student’s existing health insurance, like Medi-Cal.
WHAT TYPE OF SUPPORT DOES CYBHI PROVIDE MY STUDENT?
CYBHI helps fund services provided by Wellness Centers, school counselors, psychologists, wellness coordinators, wellness interns, and Child Welfare and Attendance specialists.
Student services include:
- Behavior support resources
- Mental health workshops
- Small group and individual counseling
- Support for stress, grief, and anxiety
- Referrals for long-term or intensive care
All services are confidential, free, and available on campus.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Your participation helps keep these services free and available for all students. By sharing your student's health insurance information (like Medi-Cal), the district can receive state funding to support these wellness programs—without affecting your coverage or benefits.
All health information is securely stored and only used according to federal and state privacy laws (FERPA & HIPAA compliant).
HOW DOES CYBHI SUPPORT MY STUDENT?
CYBHI allows schools to receive extra funding for mental health and wellness services — at no cost to you:
- Step 1: Parents/guardians provide insurance info (Medi-Cal or private) to schools.
- Step 2: Schools provide on-campus mental health services.
- Step 3: At the end of each school year, the District will submit a report of the services that were provided to receive funding from the state. Services are free to students and are not billed to families.
With your support, EMUHSD will continue to offer high-quality, confidential services that help students feel safe, supported, and ready to succeed.
