Minnesota just approved paid family and medical leave—joining 11 other states and the District of Columbia in offering this program.
Writing as both a clinical psychologist who works with severely ill children, and as a mom with years of experience caring for a young child with cancer, we know the importance of paid family medical leave.
In many ways, I was fortunate. While not mandated to do so, my employer provided access to 12 weeks of paid caregiver leave, plus the option for more unpaid leave, and flexibility in my schedule. This meant that while our family incurred significant out-of-pocket expenses during her treatment, we did not experience food, housing or energy insecurity, like many other families whose child has cancer.
