Infants, toddlers & families should have what they need to thrive. The US House passed a bill expanding & enhancing the Child Tax Credit (CTC) which supports family economic security. Now we need the Senate to pass it too. #CTC #ChildTaxCredit Click here: p2a.co/UWlC2TX

Child welfare is expensive today & downstream. The great news is that concrete #economicsupports reduce #CPS and #fostercare cases. That makes good economic sense and means more children can grow up safe, healthy and thriving. That is good policy. @PCANC

“The solutions have focused on recruiting foster parents and paying them more. But we’re curious. What if the narrative is starting from the wrong place? What if we’re not asking the right questions?” ncnewsline.com/2023/08/18/fa… @PCANC #fostercare #neglect #Economics

"This is the job of us as a society. It requires a reconceptualization of who we are as a society and which interventions we deploy when, and how. We can reorient and focus on child and family well-being as a set of solutions." - @ClareAnderson16 @Chapin_Hall
Hearing from @ClareAnderson16 now about the impact of historical and contemporary policy choices on child and family well-being. #EssentialsforChildhood @CDCgov @ncdhhs @ncchild @Chapin_Hall

Over half of all Black children experience a CPS investigation in the US. “It has become a normative experience,” says @ClareAnderson16, adding that this is in large part due to policy choices. @Chapin_Hall
