Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI)
Mental health is a priority, and we're taking an important step forward! NUSD is participating in the state-wide Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), a first-of-its-kind effort to ensure all students can access mental health support in schools. The new CYBHI fee schedule program makes it easier for students to get critical services at school at no cost, while also helping to sustain existing student wellness programs. To participate, please fill out the forms linked below and return them to your child’s school. Completion of the forms do not guarantee services, but rather indicates that should your child need services, you are
The links below include additional information, as well as consent to bill insurance. Please print and return these forms to your child’s school.
Parents’ partnership will be essential to accessing these additional resources. California’s health plans and insurers are now required to reimburse public schools for covered mental health services provided to students at school. This will bring additional funding directly back to our schools and students! Most importantly, state law protects families, guaranteeing zero impact to your insurance coverage:
-
No bills, copays or deductibles
-
No increase to premiums
-
No reduced or impacted plan benefits
-
No effects to coverage
-
No denial of private services if/when the same service is provided at school
We are proud to partner with the Marin County Office of Education to bring this essential work to our District. For additional information visit the Marin County Office of Education CYBHI Website.
