Leading Change Through Implementation Science

CIBHS is the Third-Party Administrator for the CYBHI Scaling Evidence-Based and Community-Defined Practices grant program, we use implementation science within Learning Collaboratives to support nearly 400 grantees. By integrating equity and organizational readiness, the initiative helps expand effective EBP and CDEP adoption to improve behavioral health access and outcomes for children, youth (0–25), and families across California.
