State allies can call on NCCP to:
NCCP has done extensive research on states’ design, financing, and implementation of policies and programs that support infant-early childhood mental health across systems, and can provide research and TA in these areas.
NCCP partners with state advocates and policymakers to conduct research on ECE programs’ use of exclusionary practices and design effective policies that include easily accessible supports for ECE programs, monitoring, attention to eliminating disparities related to children’s race and special needs.
NCCP can work with advocates and policymakers to identify research-informed strategies, including policies related to professional development, parent engagement, supports for bilingual learners, and screening.
NCCP can offer state-specific data on young children and families in deep poverty, racial-ethnic disparities in deep poverty, and recommendations for policies that can help families facing severe economic hardship support their young children’s healthy development while moving toward greater financial security.
