@BswJamie This is heartbreaking. We definitely need to work hard to spread awareness and education. I believe a great deal do this happens due to lack of knowledge surrounding this.

@hukle_2019 This is so needed! It’s horrible that people are forced to make this decision regularly ! Medicine or necessities or really necessity or necessity !!!!
@ChristyLHinton1 Yes Christy ! This is so very important. I didn’t realize until recently that there are still so many without health care. We must do better to ensure health care for all.

@StutzEmma @atticascott4ky @ErinWarfel I fully support this! This is so very critical to mothers. I experienced this after my first child and I had no idea what was happening to me. I don’t remember anyone telling me about how serious it was or even signs to look for, which would have been extremely helpful.
@WhitleyBarnes10 This is very much needed! I can easily see how this could go full circle reaching many levels of social problems. This could help so many individuals with mental health issues and possibly help lower crime.
@KyWhitney Support HB 19! HB 19 Prohibits mental health professionals from practicing conversion therapy. The NASW supports the passage of laws that prohibit use of conversion therapies by professionally trained social workers. #WKUsocialworkpolicy
