Transforming Together: Implementation Guide
California Policy Momentum Importantly, state policy already points counties in this direction. The Local Control Funding Formula for schools, the Children and Youth Behavioral Health Initiative (CYBHI), the California Community Schools Partnership Program, California Advancing and Innovating in Medi-Cal (CalAIM), and AB 2083’s
interagency System of Care requirements all set expectations for shared responsibility for whole-child outcomes across communities, education, health, juvenile justice, human services and other child serving organizations. Below is a graphic for the Collaborative Leadership Structure for Community Schools.

Both AB 2083 System of Care and Community Schools seek to develop cascading interagency and community leadership structures to improve outcomes for the children and youth of California, including a county-community leadership structure-team, an intermediary implementation leadership structure- team and a site level leadership structure- team that together unite communities and agencies in shared leadership, shared goals, shared accountability processes, shared financing, shared information and shared
care. In addition, CYBHI seeks to transform and reimagine the way California supports children, youth and families by centering the needs of young people and uniting the agencies and organizations that serve them. Together, these bodies of work form the Ecosystem of Care that T2 is advancing through this Guide, establishing the conditions for California’s children, youth, and families to thrive.
