Child Health Policy
Children’s health gets less attention than adults’ health for a myriad of reasons, including: children are generally healthier and more resilient, and their needs are often perceived as less urgent or costly. The Farley Center recognizes systemic disparities and the opportunities to drive meaningful change so that children and their health are not overlooked. Our child health policy work is focused on informing evidence-based interventions at the intersection of behavioral health, Medicaid, financing, and systems of care that engage families, communities, and schools.
