Project LAUNCH and Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation create healthy communities and boost our economy. If project LAUNCH loses funding, entire consultation programs that help educators care for young children will be eliminated. These programs don’t just help kids — they keep early learning centers open, stable, and staffed. When teachers feel supported, they stay. When classrooms stay open, parents can work. When teachers receive appropriate training, preschool expulsions and suspensions are reduced and the parent workforce remains robust. Cutting LAUNCH funding doesn’t just harm children — it ripples out into the entire workforce. This is an infrastructure issue for early education and working families. Please do everything you can to protect and expand LAUNCH funding.
