Air Date: 11/1/16 – Tennessee-based powerhouse attorney Connie Reguli and adoptive mom of three and ardent, passionate activist, Maureen O’Neill Davis, will discuss their efforts to get this Act passed on both the state and federal level. Why must families with mentally ill children receive punitive measures from those whose jobs it is to protect and provide therapy?

Why is there a lack of adequate mental health services for those kids in and out of the child & family services? Listen to these passionate and dedicated women employing a systematic approach to educating lawmakers and helping change insurance benefits for all.
