The Child Mind Institute (CMI) and the Steinberg Institute (SI) have partnered to better understand the use of technology in mental health education and care for youth in California. The organizations are surveying youth, parents, researchers and clinicians, convening focus groups of Californians from across the state, and hosting expert panel discussions.
The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) funds this project and will utilize the findings as part of the Child Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI). Insights will be shared with DHCS in the summer of 2023 to assist their work toward improving youth mental health services in California through next-generation digital therapeutics.
