This week, AAMFT and 350 other organizations sent a letter to President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris requesting the establishment of a White House Office on Children and Youth and a White House Conference on Children and Youth to elevate the needs of children, youth and their families.
Establishing a White House Office on Children and Youth would bring sustained attention to research and policy recommendations, enhance alignment and coordination of federal programs and investments, and ultimately set our country on a trajectory of wellbeing, prosperity and thriving for the future. Since 1909, White House Conferences on Children have led to action within and beyond the government sector, and another Conference would spur collective action across the public, nonprofit and private sectors.
