The Youth at the Center Progress report focuses on how CYBHI workstreams, campaigns, and initiatives align with the 12 Calls-to-Action in the original Youth at the Center report, highlighting both progress made and opportunities that remain. It includes a qualitative review of CYBHI activities (from January 2023 through December 2025) and a community-informed reflection on whether the vision expressed in 2022 is taking shape in ways that young people and families can feel.

Toolkit: Start where you are. Use what you have.
This toolkit is designed for community members and CBOs advocating for youth behavioral health in California. You don’t need credentials or expertise in policy. You don’t need to have all the answers. What you bring — your experience, your perspective, your vision for what healing could look like—is exactly what’s needed. Explore the toolkit
