    In 6 months, 160 Certified Wellness Coaches (CWC) served 7,500+ students across 240+ sites in California. 4,000 CWCs are helping expand access to behavioral health supports while strengthening workforce diversity in school & community settings. 📲 cybhi.chhs.ca.gov/evaluation-hub
    A person sits at a table with a child, engaging in a high-five. The text in the foreground reads, "4K+ wellness coaches certified, 7,500+ students served in just six-month period." The logo reads "CYBHI."
    "On my mentorship caseload was a young man [whose] dad tragically passed away... and this downturn started to happen. We created this plan... and we checked in every week. Last week, he comes into my office, sets down his backpack, claps his hands and says, 'Mr. Jordan, I passed all my classes'... and he started crying and says, 'My dad would be so proud of me.' And I looked at him and I knew something had changed. He just needed somebody to be there and support him."

    The best way to avoid breathing in smoke is to stay inside. If you must go outside, wear an N95 mask. Stay on top of air conditions by checking AirNow.gov. For more information on masks go to: cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/D… Image credit: Myung J. Chun, Los Angeles Times

    During a fire, it's important to follow guidance from local officials and reduce your exposure to smoke & poor air quality: ✅ Limit outdoor activity ✅ Close windows & doors ✅ Use an air purifier ✅ Wear an N95 mask outside ✅ Check air quality at airnow.gov

    Check the air quality in your area. Stay inside with your windows and doors closed if there’s poor air quality in your area. If you must go outside wear an N95 or P100 mask. Visit: airnow.gov Image credit: Eric Thayer, Los Angeles Times via Getty Images

    N95 masks can filter out pollutants, including smoke from fires, and make breathing safer. If you must go outside when there’s smoke in the air, wear an N95 mask to protect your health. Visit: cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/D… Image credit: Isaac Ceja/Boyle Heights Beat
