About This Series
This series profiles family support and education programs across the United States. In an effort to make information about family support and education policy available in a timely fashion, Harvard Family Research Project has synthesized its ongoing research on state-level policy into a series of booklets whose convenient format highlights the significant features of each initiative and presents the reflections of a state-level contact on the lessons that the state has learned.
