The Public Policy Committee helps to lead the field in best practices in child welfare and behavioral health through public policy and legislation. It monitors and influences federal public policy that impacts child welfare and behavioral health services. Committee members lead in the sector by contributing their expertise to the development of FFTA's Public Policy Platform.

The committee meets virtually on a monthly basis and hosts three focus groups:

• Federal Policy
• ACES/Trauma Informed Care
• Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA)
