BHS was awarded the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI) Round Two: Trauma-Informed Programs and Practices grant which intends to scale up trauma-informed care available to children, youth, parents, and caregivers in California. Trauma-informed care addresses how trauma may impact an individual’s life and response to behavioral health services, understanding the prevalence of trauma; recognizing how trauma affects an individual; and responding by putting knowledge into practice. Specifically, BHS will be utilizing this Round Two award to support Specialty Mental Health Plan providers who serve individuals ages 25 and under to access training to offer Medi-Cal funded DBT services for clients struggling with trauma and disordered eating/eating disorders. These funds are intended to expand and create culturally relevant and responsive services for individuals ages 25 and under to prevent and mitigate Behavioral Health (BH) concerns and promote well-being for the individual and to support trauma-informed approaches for parents, caregivers and individuals.
