Summary
California launched new youth mental health initiatives including the Live Beyond campaign for ACEs awareness and two free online behavioral health platforms (BrightLife Kids for ages 0-12 and Soluna for ages 13-25). These are informational resources that don't change billing procedures but may increase referrals to behavioral health services.
Action Required
No immediate billing changes required. Behavioral health providers should familiarize themselves with the new BrightLife Kids and Soluna platforms to refer patients appropriately. Consider promoting these free resources to families with children and young adults.
