Summary
California has launched new youth mental health initiatives including the Live Beyond campaign for ACEs awareness and two free online behavioral health platforms (BrightLife Kids and Soluna) available to all families regardless of insurance status. These are informational resources that complement existing services rather than billing changes.
Action Required
No immediate billing changes required. Front desk staff should be aware of these free California mental health resources (Live Beyond campaign, BrightLife Kids for ages 0-12, and Soluna for ages 13-25) to inform patients and families who may benefit from additional support services.
