YOUR HELP IS NEEDED TODAY TO MAKE VISITS TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND BILL AUTHOR REGARDING THE HEARING OF BILL

HB 1386

THIS IS A SUICIDE PREVENTION AND CYBERBULLING BILL THAT WOULD ALLOW MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING IN SCHOOLS!

SCHEDULED FOR

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 2011

8:00AM - ROOM E2.012

IF YOU ARE ABLE, ALSO, PLEASE COME AND PUT IN A CARD IN OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL!

TALKING POINTS:

Mental Health Screening leads to labeling and stigmas that can follow a child into adulthood and prevents certain career opportunities.Labeling most often leads to psychiatric drugs with dangerous side effects.There is no provision for parental notification, permission or "opt out" procedures (choice) which leaves the door open for questionable governmental intervention, such as forcing parents to consent to screening, labeling and/or drugging on threat of losing the child. This bill raises concerns over privacy issues with information sharing.Our school's primary focus should be educating our children with the tools to be successful in life and instilling values and an ethical foundation, not acting as an extension of the local psychiatric facility.

TAKE ACTION!!

This is an URGENT call to action for everyone who can make visits, calls, send an email and/or come to the Capitol to put in a card. We will be there to testify and others will help you with the cards.

See House Committee on Public Health and bill author contact information below.

Email me to let me know you made your calls/emails!!

Please call us at CCHR at 800-572-2905 if you have any questions or need any help on this.
