Youth and maternal mental health are critical targets for systems and policy change. Between 2018 and 2020, CLASP engaged state and local leaders in technical assistance initiatives targeting mental health systems and policy change in several jurisdictions. Focused on youth and mothers, these two initiatives were: Policies Advancing Transformation and Healing (PATH), addressing young people ages 16-25; and Moving on Maternal Depression (MOMD), aimed at mothers experiencing depression and other mental health challenges.

New Day for DACA and Dreamers’ Children
|
| Last week, the Department of Homeland Security opened the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to new applications for the first time in more than three years. This comes after a New York Federal Court ruling that ordered the government to reinstate the program immediately and to promote DACA to potential recipients. |
