As we bring National Social Work Month to a close, Building Beyond Therapy's CEO & Founder, Kristen Brooks testified before for the Maryland General Assembly earlier this month advocating for perinatal mental health.
Title: Health, Health Insurance, and Health Occupations -
Perinatal Mental Health Conditions (HB1118).
This bill is a step in the right direction for addressing perinatal mental health and could save lives. House bill (HB1118) has been cross-filed (SB0891).
We are very appreciative of Delegate White Holland and Senator Gile for their leadership!
Thank you Kristen for going beyond the session, beyond the struggle, and beyond the expectation. Thank you for seeing the potential in every person and the power in every community.
