Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva, the ranking member of the House Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and
Public Lands, today called for a full Natural Resources Committee hearing to determine whether a high - ranking Department of the Interior (DOI) official received
outside payments from a conservative group that seeks to
influence federal
policy.
Because so many of the origins and consequences of childhood toxic stress lie beyond the boundaries of the clinical setting, pediatric providers are often called on to work collaboratively with parents, social workers, teachers, coaches, civic leaders,
policy makers, and other invested stakeholders to
influence services that fall
outside the traditional realm of clinical practice.72 In many cases, these efforts extend even further afield, moving into the realm of ecologically based,
public health initiatives that address the precipitants of toxic stress at the community, state, and national levels.
