Just a quick reminder about next week's important webinar: "Insuring Care: How Liability Insurance Access Threatens Community Services for Children."

The latest data from a national survey of 327 providers reveals an alarming trend: 25% of organizations have seen premium increases of 300-1000%, while 69% are considering service reductions due to insurance challenges. These cost increases threaten the entire continuum of care, from foster family support to counseling services. Join @ACRCVoice and The National Organization of State Associations for Children next Wednesday, July 30 at 12 PM CT as they discuss these findings and explore policy solutions and risk-sharing models that could help stabilize our sector.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

1 in 7 adolescents live with a #MentalHealth condition.

Without adequate support, these conditions can have long-lasting effects on their education, relationships, and overall well-being.

We’re calling on countries to invest in effective age-appropriate mental health services for young people and to address barriers to care.

With mental well-being, the research indicates that we sometimes miss, or misunderstand, unresolved or complicated grief and loss, which can be heightened during the holiday season. Join ACRC to learn ways to support others and ourselves. 💕
