$17 million to 44 community and tribal organizations to develop and increase youth substance use prevention services through civic engagement and culturally competent programs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These grants are part of <a href=\"https:\/\/elevateyouthca.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elevate Youth California<\/a>, a state program that addresses substance use disorder.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These investments will seek to help grassroots community and tribal organizations develop substance use prevention services for youth living in communities disproportionately impacted by the war on drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCalifornia is committed to reaching young people struggling with substance use and mental health issues where they are, with the resources they need to stay healthy,\u201d said Governor Gavin Newsom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are investing in our community partners who work day in and day out to help vulnerable youth access the quality, culturally competent services they need and deserve,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mental health and substance use challenges for youth are at an all-time high in California, especially for youth of color and 2S\/LGBTQ+ youth, said California Department of Health Services (DHCS) Director Michelle Baass.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThrough Elevate Youth California, DHCS continues to provide safe spaces where youth have an equitable opportunity to receive preventive behavioral health services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Support will empower youth to create policy and systems change through civic engagement, implement culturally and linguistically competent youth development programs, peer support, and mentoring that are healing-centered and trauma-informed, and prioritize harm reduction and public health solutions that build resilience and prevent substance use disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You may be interested in: <a
