The data and resource information contained in this NY KIDS COUNT Multimedia Data Book 2020 are a snapshot of the available social and emotional resources for children, youth, and young adults in New York State. This Data Book was compiled during the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) when many New Yorkers were experiencing heightened feelings of isolation, anxiety, and stress. We hope that by sharing this Book New York children and families have more readily available information about resources and are better able to find and access help.
