🌟 Thank You for a Powerful Spring Advocacy Day! 🌟 A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for CALACAP’s 2026 Spring Advocacy Day — and a special thank you to Assemblymember Greg Hart and Assemblymember Dawn Addis for your leadership, insight, and commitment to improving mental health care for California’s children, youth, and families. Your engagement elevated the conversation and inspired meaningful dialogue and action. 👏🏾💚 Together, our members, trainees, and partners spent the day advocating for critical mental health policies and discussing some of the most pressing issues impacting children and families across California, including: 1. Protecting mental health parity and ensuring equal access to behavioral health care through AB 2011 (Hart) 2. Increasing transparency and accountability for insurance care denials through SB 363 (Wiener) 3. Supporting equitable, non-discriminatory access to health care through AB 1876 (Addis) 4. Promoting safer digital spaces and stronger online protections for children through AB 2246 (Wicks) 5. Opposing the proposed elimination of California’s statewide Medi-Cal Mobile Crisis Benefit for youth and families Thank you to everyone who contributed your voice, expertise, and passion. Together, we are advancing meaningful change and supporting the mental health and well-being of California’s children and adolescents. 💚✨ #CALACAP #ChildPsychiatry #AdvocacyDay #MentalHealthMatters #CaliforniaYouth

Make California’s education system work better for kids and join the new Children's Movement campaign TODAY! 🙋🏽‍♀️ 🙋🏿 🙋🏼‍♂️ For over a century, split leadership and blurred responsibility in California’s state-level public education system have made it difficult for students to get quick and effective support when they need it, hindering their ability to succeed. The Children's Movement is fighting to change this. By aligning the California Department of Education under a new leadership structure that provides clearer guidance for schools and holds leaders accountable, effective solutions will be implemented faster and schools will get more consistent support. 💪 The Children’s Movement is more than 6,200 organizations strong. Add your organization and join this campaign TODAY at childrennow.org/campaigns (link in bio) #CaliforniaEducation #EducationMatters #ChildrensMovementCA

🫶 This National Provider Appreciation Day, we're celebrating all the amazing child care providers who show up each day with care, patience, and dedication. 🫶 Child care providers help shape our kids' development while allowing parents to work and raise a family without constantly worrying about making ends meet. That’s why through our partnership with @agoldenstateforkids , we launched "A Golden State for Care," outlining what a strong child care system can look like for California.
