CAMPAIGN UPDATE:
On February 20, 2024, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), through The Public Health Institute Center for Wellness and Nutrition, awarded $25 million to 28 community based and tribal organizations for the CDPH, Office of Health Equity’s Local Level Public Education and Change Campaigns. The organizations will develop culturally, linguistically, and age-appropriate campaigns aimed at reducing stigma and discrimination, and connect individuals, families, and caregivers to the appropriate resources they need around mental, emotional, and behavioral health promotion, prevention, treatment, maintenance, and wellness. The campaigns will be youth centered and co-created representing our five priority populations: African Americans/Black, Native Americans, Asians and Pacific Islanders, Latinos, and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning communities with special consideration for transitional-age youth, persons with disabilities, justice and foster care involved youth, and those living in rural areas. The full list of grantees can be found here: Local Level Campaigns Award Announcement.
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH), Office of Health Equity (OHE) is developing and implementing local-level public education and change campaigns as part of the CDPH, OHE Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI). The CDPH, OHE intends to award approximately 25 to 30 local-level grants to 501(c)(3) community-based organizations (CBOs) or Tribal organizations or collaborative/partnerships to develop local-level campaigns that address reduction in stigma, and enhance behavioral health literacy for children, youth, families and communities, and increase help-seeking behavior and wellness support.
The CDPH, OHE is partnering with the Public Health Institute (PHI), an independent, nonprofit organization, to implement the Local-Level Campaigns. This partnership between PHI and the CDPH, OHE aims to facilitate a deep investment in children and youth (ages 0-25), parents and caregivers who live in communities that are historically unserved, underserved and inappropriately served, including five priority populations, which will enable select local organizations to develop youth-centered, and co-created public health campaigns.
