"APTA joins the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) in urging the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice to immediately end the policy of family separation. AAP states that stress of family separation causes 'irreparable harm to children' that can 'disrupt the building of children's brain architecture' and 'lead to lifelong health consequences.' APTA respects the expertise of the American Academy of Pediatrics, and as a health care organization we have a social responsibility to protect the health of society consistent with our profession's core values."
