Child Health

Please stay calm, stay safe, and stay strong. We will get through this together.

The Children’s Defense Fund’s commitment to protecting all children and families is more important now than ever. We are quickly adapting to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 public health emergency with urgency and impact. (You can support these efforts through the Children in Crisis Fund.)

We know many children and families are hurting right now. If one thing is clear from this crisis, it is that communities and our nation must come together to offer support to those who are most deeply impacted to ensure this temporary crisis doesn’t cause permanent damage to their safety, health and well-being.

CDF’s team of policy and education experts created our new COVID Resource Hub, which offers tools and resources to connect children, families, and caregivers with assistance and information during this time. We will continue to update this page as more resources become available.

Please stay calm, stay safe, and stay strong. We will get through this together.
