@suren @yuvipanda An amazing list!

[Benjamin Reisterer @MetaFi_Ben]

@dotdatdas @yuvipanda Thank you! I'm grateful you've checked it out. Lemme know if you have any questions!

[Benjamin Reisterer @MetaFi_Ben]

Yes! Please end the portability nonsense for therapists so clients don't have to lose their therapist if they move or cross an arbitrary boundary. Thanks @ENBrown for writing about this!

Banning talk therapy across borders violates the First Amendment say @IJ and Virginia counselor Elizabeth Brokamp https://t.co/6cMdtZe2jL

The Threads guys do a great job advocating for mental health and I'm grateful for the goodness they put into the world.

@ThreadsPodcast Hey! Thanks for the shout out gents! 😊❤👍

[Benjamin Reisterer @MetaFi_Ben]

Symptoms are not the problem. They are messengers meant to invite and direct our attention deeper. Resist being caught up in managing, controlling, or dominating them and allow yourself to be guided to tending to the root or systemic issue instead.

[Benjamin Reisterer @MetaFi_Ben]

@NHarringtonJr Sure thing! Appreciate all you're doing for us Michigan LPCs.

[Benjamin Reisterer @MetaFi_Ben]

@GovWhitmer @LtGovGilchrist Please give him the gift of ensuring that 200k+ Michiganders won't lose access to their current counselors (of which there are 10k+) by directing @michiganLARA to hold off on #LPC rule changes and pledging to sign #HB4325. Thank you and Happy Birthday @LtGovGilchrist!

[Benjamin Reisterer @MetaFi_Ben]

@sjdemas please look into the issues going on with @michiganLARA, #LPC rules, and #HB4325. It could create a possible mental health crisis and remove 10k counselors from providing the services they are currently providing for 200k+ Michiganders. Thanks!

[Benjamin Reisterer @MetaFi_Ben]

@GovWhitmer OK, but what are you doing to protect 10k Counselors and all of their client's access to #mentalhealth? Please tell @michiganLARA to not stop them from practicing and please support #HB4325.

[Benjamin Reisterer @MetaFi_Ben]

@GovWhitmer @GovInslee Your administration's @michiganLARA is about to take away mental healthcare from 200k+ Michiganders. Please stop them from making the rule change around #LPC (mental health counselors) licenses and support #HB4325. Thank you!

[Benjamin Reisterer @MetaFi_Ben]

@LeeChatfield Morning Speaker,

Please get #HB4335 through the house and to the senate ASAP. 10k counselors (#LPC) could lose their jobs and the clients that depend on them could lose their mental health services. This bill protects what LPCs have been doing for 30+ years. Thank you!

[Benjamin Reisterer @MetaFi_Ben]

@GovWhitmer Please direct @michiganLARA to hold off in rewriting rule changes for counselors. We could lose 10k mental health workers if you don't, that would be a crisis for MI.

Also, support HB4325!

[Benjamin Reisterer @MetaFi_Ben]

@SenMikeShirkey While you're waiting to take this vote, please begin preparing to fasttrack #HB4325 in the MI senate. Our #mentalhealth system is already stressed, don't take away 10k+ counselors (#LPC) and the services they are already providing to their aprox 200k+ clients. Thank you!

[Benjamin Reisterer @MetaFi_Ben]

Hello @LeeChatfield,

As the speaker of the MI house, please fasttrack #HB4325. 10k+ counselors (#LPC) and their clients need you to ensure their work can continue without interruption. Our mental health system is already over burdened, don't let it get worse. Thank you!

[Benjamin Reisterer @MetaFi_Ben]

Thank you to @LynnAfendoulis for voting yes on #HB4325 in committee this week. She helped it clear a vital hurdle towards protecting #mentalhealth in MI.

[Benjamin Reisterer @MetaFi_Ben]

Hello @GovWhitmer + @LtGovGilchrist, me, my clients, and 10k other counselors (#LPC) and their clients need you. Please stop @michiganLARA from changing and terminating these therapeutic relationships and publically support #HB3425. Support MI #mentalhealth!

[Benjamin Reisterer @MetaFi_Ben]

Hello @BrandtIden,

Please place #HB4325 on your committee's agenda ASAP. This will help protect the vital #MentalHealth services already being provided by 10k+ counselors (#LPC) in MI. We already have a shortage of mental health care here, don't let it get worse! Thank you!
