About

The National Academies’ Board on Children, Youth, and Families held a webinar sharing the key findings from a new report, Early Relational Health: Building Foundations for Child, Family, and Community Well-being.

Early relationships are foundational for lifelong health, learning, and well-being. Mutual, meaningful, and affirming moments of connection in the youngest relationships support brain development, resilience, and social-emotional growth. These experiences, known as early relational health (ERH), can also buffer the impacts of adversity and help create pathways toward thriving children, families, and communities.

The new report Early Relational Health: Building Foundations for Child, Family, and Community Well-Being provides evidence-based opportunities for advancing ERH. Developed by a committee of experts, the report highlights opportunities for practice, policy, and research to strengthen supportive relationships. It emphasizes asset-based approaches, family and community leadership, workforce supports, and cross-sector collaboration to promote ERH across health care, education, and social systems.

Addressing Training Site and Slot Shortages Across the Health Professions: A Workshop

Agenda

Materials

About

The global shortage of high-quality clinical training opportunities has been a growing concern for health professions education with far-reaching implications. Most notably in the United States, clinical training sites and slots are not expanding in pace with the growing number of health professional schools and students, resulting in heightened competition for available spots and difficulty for students to complete required training. Exacerbating the problem is the extensive burnout of clinicians and workforce attrition, leading to limited preceptor capacity. This workshop series will explore causes and potential solutions to the growing challenge of insufficient experiential learning sites across all the health professions.

The planning committee will select and invite speakers, moderators, and discussants to participate in the workshop series. Virtual sessions were held on August 28 and September 10 to gather educator, trainee, health systems, accreditation, and regulatory perspectives. (video recordings linked below). Additionally, the planning committee solicited abstracts across the health professions that highlighted innovations and/or strategies for expanding high-quality clinical training placements. An abstract book has been provided as a resource and can be downloaded below in the meeting materials section. Lastly, several authors were further selected to discuss their work in video presentations, archived here. Workshop registrants are encouraged to learn from these resources in preparation for discussion on October 15-16.

Person- and Family-centered Care in Applied Behavior Analysis

Agenda

About

Autism is a life-long, complex neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in social communication and interaction and restricted or repetitive behaviors, often accompanied by other morbidities. Interventions and proper supports can help those with autism with self-care habits and management of change and stressful situations. Applied behavioral analysis (ABA), a behavioral therapeutic approach, is one such intervention. ABA is the application of learning theory and behavior analytic principles to build new skills important to individual health and well-being and/or reduce maladaptive behaviors that are not serving the individual. ABA providers use a range of practices based on ABA principles to promote skill acquisition and use in autistic individuals.

The National Academies’ forthcoming consensus report, The Comprehensive Autism Care Demonstration: Solutions for Military Families, examines the delivery of ABA to TRICARE-eligible beneficiaries and the impacts on military-connected families using the demonstration to access ABA services and offers recommendations to improve the delivery of ABA services to TRICARE beneficiaries that need them.

A person- and family-centered approach to the delivery of ABA is important given the complex, heterogenous nature of autism and the range of individual health goals that might be supported by ABA. The National Academies’ Board on Children, Youth, and Families will host a public event on October 8, 2025, 1:00 to 5:00 pm EDT, to further explore the findings of this consensus report, particularly the need for individualized care. This event will bring together experts in autism diagnosis and ABA delivery and assessment, representatives from families receiving ABA, ABA providers, and policy makers to discuss current best practices for person- and family-centered care.

About

Tax policy is a structural determinant of population health, shaping the availability of public services and the allocation of resources across communities. The workshop examined how tax policy decisions at various levels influenced opportunities for health, with attention to the design and distributional effects of tax systems. Discussions considered how tax structures affected social spending, economic stability, and the capacity of communities to support health and well-being. Presenters shared a range of research, practice, and policy perspectives that helped participants explore implications for population health across diverse geographies and communities.
