In the August 2023 Update, we emphasize the critical importance of behavioral health support in schools, a primary environment for our youth. As we commence the new academic year, we’re excited to present updates on partnerships with public schools, highlighting the deep connection between health and education. Key collaborations we feature, include the collaborative youth behavioral health initiatives in East Kern County and Humboldt County’s innovative strategies, which address behavioral health challenges and introduce young minds to careers in mental health.
