State Leadership and Policy Action to Advance Early Relational Health

Nurture Connection’s report on “State Leadership and Policy Action to Advance Early Relational Health” by Kay Johnson,  Geoffrey Nagle, and David Willis, documents how states are advancing policies and systemic changes that support ERH and family well-being. Highlighting policies and strategies that advance ERH in six states – New Jersey, Oregon, Washington, California, Michigan, and Vermont – the report points to varied ways states can improve the lives of families and children prenatal to three. Beyond the efforts and progress in these six states, every state has policies that support and promote ERH. The report provides a 50-state overview of 14 policy and program areas aligned with ERH policy goals, showing progress across the nation.
