NHCVA-APSAC Statement of Concern and Offer to Help Inform the Protection and Care of Immigrant Children in Federal Custody
Statement and List of Professional Societies’ endorsements
The American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children (APSAC), a member organization of NHCVA, released their Position Statement on Separating Immigrant Children From Their Families at the United States Border in June 2018. Many other professional societies, and others, also posted strong statements opposing that policy. This spring, APSAC drafted a Professional Societies’ Statement of Concern and Offer to Help policy makers assure the proper care for immigrant children in federal custody. APSAC invited NHCVA at its May 2019 meeting to lead this effort by posting and circulating the statement to its members. The professional societies and other organizations endorsing this statement agree to provide their expertise and knowledge on a bipartisan basis to the U.S. Congress and other national leaders to develop legislation that is research-informed, evidence-based, and follows best practices standards for the health of children and youth.
