Those interested in the Health and Human Services policy
space have two key opportunities this March to engage with state
leaders and learn about ongoing behavioral health initiatives.
Behavioral Health Task Force Lunch & Learn – March

On Wednesday, March 12, from 12:00 to 1:30 pm, the Behavioral
Health Task Force (BHTF) will host a virtual Lunch & Learn
focused on the Behavioral Health Community-Based Organized
Networks of Equitable Care and Treatment (BH-CONNECT) Initiative.
Staff from the California Department of Health Care Services
(DHCS) will provide a state-level overview of BH-CONNECT, helping
members prepare for a deeper discussion at the next BHTF
Quarterly Meeting on April 9. The

On Thursday, March 13, from 3:00 to 5:00 pm, the California
Health and Human Services Agency (CalHHS) will host the next
Children and Youth
Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI) Quarterly Public

CYBHI and its workstreams aimed at transforming California’s
approach to behavioral health care for children, youth, and
