Why Student Wellness Matters

San Diego Unified is committed to supporting the whole child- including emotional wellbeing, social-emotional learning, prevention, and connection to trusted adults in school.

Students across the district already receive wellness supports such as emotional check-ins, coping skills, prevention programs, and access to caring adults and safe spaces on campus. These supports help students feel connected, supported, and ready to learn.

The CYBHI Fee Schedule helps ensure these services can continue long-term.

One minute = more student wellness support

What to Expect

• Families will receive a secure email from Paradigm Healthcare Services with a personalized link.
• The link is specific to your student and time-limited for security.
• If you prefer not to use the portal, you may complete a paper form and return to your school's front office staff.

You do not need to search for a form or create an account- the District will reach out to you directly.

What is the CYBHI Multi-Payer Fee Schedule?

The Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI) Fee Schedule is a California state initiative that mandates health plans and insurers to reimburse public schools, including TK-12 districts, colleges, and universities, for providing eligible mental health, emotional wellbeing, and prevention supports to students under 26 years old.

Through this program, San Diego Unified can sustain and strengthen the wellness supports students already receive- at no cost to families.

This work directly supports the District’s Wellness Goal, ensuring every student has access to supports that strengthen their body, mind, relationships, and sense of community.

What Supports Are Sustained Through CYBHI?

The CYBHI Fee Schedule helps fund a wide range of wellness and behavioral health supports that schools already provide, including:

• Emotional wellbeing and prevention supports
• Small-group or one-on-one student check-ins
• Wellness programs and coping skills activities
• Supportive spaces and trusted adults on campus
• Connections to additional behavioral health services when needed

All services are part of San Diego Unified’s Wellness Continuum of Supports, ensuring that every student- regardless of background or coverage- has access to care and connection at school.

We Need Your Help

The funding that supports student wellness does not come from the District’s general budget and it does not come from families’ pockets.

All we need is your information and consent.

By sharing your student’s health insurance information, you help San Diego Unified access state funding that keeps wellness supports strong and available for all students.

Share your info. Strengthen student wellness support.

Wellness for all, at no cost to families.
