The summary provides an overview of the CBCAP Annual Reports submitted to the Children's Bureau each year by each State Lead Agency (SLA). It highlights activities and services implemented during the 2018 funding year, including information on core services and amounts funded in each state, a downloadable CBCAP infographic, and examples of reported activities in CBCAP topic-related areas.
 
Exemplary practices from 21 selected state reports are shared across CBCAP topic-related areas and include examples of:

• Eight states share community-based comprehensive approaches,
• Eight states share evaluation findings for their CBCAP funded programs and activities and,
• Six states share inspiring stories of resiliency and hope.

We hope you enjoy reading about all the great successes happening in the states!

The CDC has a new Toolkit for Young Adults: 15 to 21 that includes easy to read FAQ’s, fact sheets, infographics, PSA’s, social media messages, and videos. The webpage contains a Coronavirus Self-Checker with questions to help individuals determine if they need to seek medical care. Compiled mental health resources are also published on the Support For Teens and Young Adults webpage to include COVID-19 prevention messages along with contact information for disaster, domestic violence, child abuse, and suicide prevention services. The CDC has identified these resources to be particularly useful for communicating with youth. In addition, on the Toolkit for K-12 Schools, programs can find updated social media messages, posters, and videos on how to properly wear face masks, appropriately practice social distancing, and safely manage youth sports. ​
