Putting the Pieces Together for Families with Young Children
Last year, the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP) released a report, Putting the Pieces Together for Families with Young Children: Aligning State Health and Human Services, Nutrition, Child Care, and Paid Family and Medical Leave. This report highlights the challenges parents of young children face in accessing the benefits and services they need to thrive and the steps that some states are taking to make this process easier. In this webinar, CLASP staff interviews parents, advocates, and administrators from California, Washington, and Washington D.C., offering insight into what it takes to build an aligned system of supports for families in this critical period.
