Foster Care Policy Recommendations Promoted by AAPP

AAPP has recently released a summary of recommended policy actions to support access to trauma-informed care for all youth in foster care and access to psychotropics for those with co-occurring mental health conditions. Additionally, the recommendations call for updates to foster care psychotropic prescribing regulations. Policy recommendations urge that each state include BCPP(s) on the foster care team as well as on any state DUR committee. AAPP additionally urges CMS to provide guidance to states on best practices, including increasing support for collaborative telemedicine services.
