Petition in support of The Melanie Blocker Stokes MOTHERS Act continues to grow!
Even as healthcare reform dominates the national legislative agenda, constituents all across America continue to write and send their signatures in support of The Melanie Blocker Stokes MOTHERS Act. This welcome continuation and expression of approval is a direct result of the public’s growing awareness of the prolific consequences of untreated maternal depression and the past lack of response that continues suffering.
Such positive and proactive awareness has been spawned by program development at the local community, state and federal level responding to maternal child health issues from many perspectives. Non profits including Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies, The March of Dimes, The What to Expect Foundation, Postpartum Support International, Give an Hour, to name but a few, are joining forces with each other and major television networks like CBS and ABC, other cable networks, documentary producers and professional organizations to SHARE KNOWLEDGE, pool resources, spread awareness and comprehensively attack the issue of untreated maternal depression.
