Mental Health, Social Services, and Substance Misuse Supports
Expanded Learning Programs foster safe and supportive environments that prioritize mental well-being and overall health. Through access to mental health care, social services, and substance misuse supports, we help youth and families build resilience, strengthen connections, and thrive in learning and life.

As part of this bold vision, the California Department of Education has launched the Transforming Schools Initiative, which encompasses Expanded Learning, Community Schools, and School-Based Mental Health Supports.
