PolicyforResults.org: Promoting Children’s Social, Emotional and Behavioral Health
28 Feb 2012, Policy for Results
As a part of its commitment to ensuring that all children are healthy, the Center for the Study of Social Policy has developed a new section on PolicyforResults.org and a corresponding report that focuses specifically on promoting children’s social, emotional and behavioral health.
In addition to facts about the issue, the new section includes policy strategies that states can use to promote children’s full health. The information in this section is designed to support policymakers in their efforts to ensure that all families have access to necessary, quality care. State policymakers can help children grow up with the supports they need to be healthy and productive.
