EXCLUSIVE — Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unveiled a new effort Tuesday to help parents battling addiction stay with their children and receive community support, making family reunification a central piece of the Trump administration’s broader push to combat the nation’s addiction crisis.

The initiative will make two peer-support addiction recovery programs available to states nationwide and, crucially, allow states to receive full federal reimbursement for providing the services through the Title IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse.
