Things are in motion

I've been clinically engaged since my return, but I have some news to share from the Children's Mental Health Campaign:

CMH Event on July 14 at the State House
On Monday, July 14 at 2:30 pm, there will be an event in the Senate Reading Room (3rd floor of the State House) in anticipation of action on SB 2518, An Act Relative to Children's Mental Health, by the Senate the next day. 
Individuals scheduled to speak at the event include Senate President Murray, Speaker DiMasi, Senator Steven Tolman, Representative Ruth Balser, and Mary Ann Tufts who will speak about her experience as a parent of children with mental illness.  We are expecting broad media coverage. 
The event is open to the public and all are encouraged to attend.  Please feel free to forward this email to your networks. 
If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Matt Noyes at 617-275-2939 or mnoyes@hcfama.org. 

Also, in the "it's nice to have friends in high places" department, I was please to read Roslyn Carter's ringing endorsement in the Globe yesterday:  I hope that it is really heard.
