Support Your Child's Mental Health: Medi-Cal Covers Therapy, Medication, and More

When children struggle emotionally, it can affect every part of their lives at home, in school, with friends, and even their physical health. In many Black families, we're taught to be strong and push through. But our kids don't have to struggle alone. Medi-Cal provides mental health care for children and youth, with no referral or diagnosis required.

Through California Advancing and Innovat- ing Medi-Cal (CalAIM), the state is trans- forming how care is delivered. Services are now easier to access and better connected across mental health, physical health, and fam- ily support systems. CalAIM brings care into schools, homes, and communities, removing barriers and helping children get support early, before challenges escalate. Help is Available, and it's Covered

Under Medi-Cal, every child and teen under age 19 has the right to mental health care. This includes screenings, therapy, medication sup- port, crisis stabilization, and help coordinating services. Parents, caregivers, and children age 12 or older can request a screening at any time, with no diagnosis or referral required.

Drugs

DHCS is also working to keep young people safe as California faces rising risks from opi- oids and counterfeit pills. Programs like El- evate Youth California and Friday Night Live give teens mentorship, leadership opportuni- ties, and positive outlets that strengthen men- tal well-being.

Through the California Youth Opioid Re- sponse, families can learn how to avoid dan- gerous substances and get treatment when needed. Song for Charlie provides parents and teens with facts and tools to talk honestly about mental health and counterfeit pills. DHCS also supports groups like Young People in Recovery, which helps youth build skills for long-term healing, and the Youth Peer Mentor Program, which trains teens with lived experi- ence to support others. These efforts are part of California's strategy to protect young peo- ple, prevent overdoses, and help them make healthier choices.

For teens and young adults ages 13-25, Cali- fornia offers Soluna, a free mental health app where young people can chat with coaches, learn coping skills, journal, or join supportive community circles. Soluna is free, confiden- tial, available in app stores, and does not re- quire insurance.

CalHOPE also provides free emotional sup- port to all Californians through a 24/7 support line at (833) 317-HOPE (4673), online chat, and culturally responsive resources. Support at School - Where Kids Already Are Schools are often the first place where emo- tional stress is noticed. Through the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYB- HI), public schools, community colleges, and universities can offer therapy, counseling, cri- sis support, and referrals at no cost to families.

Services are available during school breaks and delivered on campus, by phone or video, or at community sites. There are no copay- ments, deductibles, or bills. Medi-Cal Still Covers Everyday Care

Medi-Cal continues to cover everyday mental health care, including therapy for stress, anxi- ety, depression, or trauma; medication sup- port; crisis stabilization; hospital care when needed; and referrals to community programs through county mental health plans and Medi- Cal health plans. How to Get Help

⚫ Talk to your child's teacher, school counsel- or, or doctor.

• In San Bernardino County call 877-410-8829 and in Riverside County call 877-410-8827 to contact your county mental health plan to re- quest an assessment or services.

If your child is not enrolled in Medi-Cal, you can apply at BenefitsCal.com or my.medi- cal.ca.gov.

In a mental health emergency, call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Every child deserves to grow up healthy and supported. Medi-Cal is working to transform care so it's accessible, equitable, and respon- sive to the needs of every family.

"This recognition speaks volumes about our people-centered organization," said Arellano. "I've always believed that every child is bril- liant in their own way. It's our responsibility as educators and staff to unlock their poten- tial, and that begins with whom we hire, how we support them and how we center equity in our work. This recognition validates the sys- tems we've built which we continue to refine in order to make that vision a reality across our communities."

The award was presented at the AASPA an- nual conference in October in Nashville, Ten- nessee. The awards reflect the extraordinary contributions made by school districts and individuals to the field of educational human

Seven Questions for Black Caucus Chair Sen. Akilah Weber Pierson

Sen. Akilah Weber Pierson cesses and disappointments this year, along with her vision for 2026.

What stands out to you as your most important achievement this year so far and why?

Nothing stands out more than SB 437 and SB 518 making it to the Governor's desk. These bills rep- resent a historic step forward for Black Californians, as they set the foundation for what I hope will become the first state agency in the nation dedicated specifically to addressing the needs and chal- lenges of descendants of Ameri- can chattel slavery. This is about recognition, justice, and healing. For too long, the legacy of slavery has been ignored in policy. These bills are an acknowledgment that addressing that legacy requires intentional action and California is poised to lead the nation in this work.

While gift-giving and festivities are often the center of celebrations, the true value of the season lies in nurturing mean- ingful connections with friends, family, and community. Research shows that strong social ties are associated with improved mental and physical health, making con- nection powerful and lasting gifts we can share.

Additionally, UnitedHealthcare's recentCollege Student and Grad- uate Behavioral Health Report found that 60% of college stu- dents reported that they or a peer encountered a behavioral health concern over the past year, far more than most parents believe.

Research finds that strong communication sup- ports both emotional well-being and strengthens relationship quali- ty. For young adults especially,data highlights that those who talk more frequently with their parents about mental well-being report feeling more supported, under- stood, and connected. Taking time to ask thoughtful questions and truly listen may make a lasting difference this season. Revisit or Create Traditions: Shared rituals and traditions, whether large or small, may help promote belonging and strength- ening of family bonds as rou- tines and traditions may provide structure, enhance resilience, and support children's mental health.

Seven Questions for Black Caucus Vice Chair

Assemblymember Isaac Bryan

Black Caucus Vice Chair Assemblymember Isaac Bryan

Assemblymember Isaac Bryan (D-Ladera Heights) represents California's 55th Assembly Dis- trict which also includes Bald- win Hills, Leimert Park, the Cren- shaw Corridor, Culver City, Del Rey, and parts of Mid-City area long recognized as the po- litical and cultural center of Black Los Angeles.

an At 33, Bryan is already one of Los Angeles' more seasoned state lawmakers. Elected in 2021, he quickly became one of the Legis- lature's leading voices on democ- racy protection, economic mobil- ity, and justice reform. Vice Chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC), he also serves on key Assembly committees - in- cluding Natural Resources (which he chairs), Judiciary, Governmen- tal Organization, and Privacy and Consumer Protection - where many of the state's major equity and civil rights debates take shape. In 2025, Bryan was at the fore- front of several defining state battles advancing the CLBC's Road to Repair agenda, safe- guarding political representation, and pushing for overdue respect for incarcerated firefighters. Bryan sat down with California Black Media to reflect on the year.

By Joe W. Bowers Jr. | California Black Media

Here are his responses to seven key questions, edited for length and clarity.

Looking back on 2025, what do you see as your biggest win the thing you're proudest of getting done or moving forward?

There are two. One, incarcer- ated firefighters have been fight- ing wildfires in California for 100 years, and they have made slave wages that entire time. When the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire were raging this year, there were incarcerated people on the front lines making a $1 an hour. We raised those wages to the federal minimum wage (Assembly Bill (AB) 247). It is the first time an incarcerated person in California will earn a minimum wage for their labor. If not now, when?

And the second is Proposi- tion 50. It was uniquely target- ing Black representation in Texas and throughout the South to push the President's agenda, and it's an agenda that we know is anti- Black. We helped organize the state to send a resounding mes- sage with Prop 50, and I am in- credibly proud of that.
