A Call for the DECADE OF THE CHILD

Americans care about the nation’s nearly 74 million children and youth and recognize the urgent need to address the challenges they face to their healthy development and wellbeing. Yet, despite our collective commitment to children and vast array of available health and educational resources, statistics reflecting the state of their health and wellbeing are sobering. The good news is that we already know what children need to thrive and, fortunately, solutions are at hand. We need unprecedented mobilization in the form of a well-coordinated national strategy across all sectors in society to prioritize the health and wellbeing of every child in America – this is the DECADE OF THE CHILD!
