MOTHERS Act Passes Senate

The MOTHERS Act, which focuses on postpartum depression related public awareness campaigns, research, education and services passed in the Senate on December 24, 2009 as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Expert Susan Stone informed us of an audio post explaining the basic initiatives of the MOTHERS Act. Click HERE to listen.

We have reason to be hopeful that the MOTHERS Act will succeed through the House of Representatives, as it has previously passed with nearly unanimous bipartisan support.

There is, however, more to do. Contact Susan Stone today and add your name to the list of MOTHERS Act supporters. Our legislators need to see that Ohioans support this bill. Send your name, state and any affiliation (including MOM) to susanstonelcsw@aol.com. Your contact information will remain confidential. See you on the list.
