Children and Adolescents

• Recommendations
• Develop a National Childrens 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.).
• 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.
