Ms. Hudak continued to discuss ideas for
potential legislation. She suggested identifying which recommendations
from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Child Fatality
Report can be implemented through legislation at the state level. She
also suggested that the committee schedule presentations on early childhood
discipline and toxic stress, the two-generation/ASCEND program from the
Aspen Institute, and the Strengthening Families approach from the Office
of Early Childhood. She concluded by encouraging the committee to
watch a documentary called Raising America.
