I thought our readers would be interested in a new policy brief on continuity of care. The policy brief, The Importance of Continuity of Care: Policies and Practices in Early Childhood Systems and Programs, includes a section on research detailing the importance of continuity of care and an analysis of state policies and programming that help young children develop secure relationships.

The policy brief can be found at: http://www.theounce.org/resources/publications.

Explained: End Juvenile Life Without Parole in Wisconsin

Wisconsin relies far too much on incarceration and blames children for system-wide failures.

Kids Forward supports SB801/AB845, which would eliminate juvenile life without parole. This critical advancement towards a more developmentally appropriate juvenile justice system will reduce and repair harm, decrease racial disparities, increase child and family wellbeing, and increase opportunities for community-based alternatives to incarceration.
