Child Care 101: The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG)

June 25, 2024
Holy acronym! If you hear the term “CCDBG” or even if you haven’t heard of it, it refers to the Child Care & Development Block Grant. The Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) provides federal funding to states for child care subsidies for low-income families with children under age 13. Families with children from birth to age 13 whose income is below 85% of the state median income are eligible on the federal level. States can set income eligibility anywhere below that ceiling, and many do.

I'm an adolescent mental health provider, here's what happens when a kid tells me they're trans

June 6, 2024
Sometimes I know before the first appointment. A parent may have been the one to reach out, to answer the question when I ask, “So, tell me what’s going on.” Maybe this is a family where the parents have already wondered about their child’s sexual orientation or gender identity (or both!). Perhaps the kid has already come out, to themselves, at school, at home, or nowhere. Sometimes it’s not on anyone’s radar - and anxiety, depression, trouble focusing, or other struggles are front and center.
