Children and Adolescents
Recommendations:
1.
Develop a National Children’s Agenda at the presidential level
that builds on universal health care. This agenda should drive a
public health approach that addresses developmentally
appropriate needs across the population (including prevention
and health promotion). This agenda should work across all child
serving systems and collect outcomes that reflect progress
across all life domains (health, safety, education, well-being,
vocational readiness, social, spiritual, etc.).
2.
Promote the availability of holistic assessments - pre-conception
through transition age - that link the youth and family to services
and supports that match developmental needs and promote
resiliency and protective factors.
