The Children’s Plan (pdf) presents a new way of thinking about the social and emotional needs of children and charts a course of action to improve upon the services and supports provided to children and their families in New York State. The Plan was built on the premise that the promotion and maintenance of mental health is a universal concern for all individuals, as it is directly linked to future physical health, well–being, and longevity.
The Children’s Plan (pdf) was developed in October 2008 by nine Commissioners from child-serving agencies in New York State, who each signed off on The Plan and have committed to work towards supporting the social and emotional needs of children and their families.
Deborah Benson, Executive Director of the NYS Council on Children and Families, provides senior leadership for the Children's Plan. In October 2009, Bill Przylucki was hired as the Statewide Children's Plan Director at the Council on Children and Families. Bill staffs and coordinates the Children's Plan line of business and reports back to senior leadership.
