That feeling when a new mom cries in my office bc she finally found help. Nearly 1/10 NJ moms report postpartum, yet many can’t access timely care. NPs step up where the system falls short. S1983/A944 would let us do more. @SpeakerCoughlin @SenPresScutari @JohnFMcKeon #PassS1983

NJ is facing a maternal mental health crisis—and it hits hardest in marginalized communities. Black women are 3–4x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes. Expanding NP authority helps close these gaps by increasing access to culturally competent care. #PassS1983

I specialize in perinatal mental health. The gap in care is real—and growing. Full practice authority would mean faster access, fewer barriers, and healthier moms and babies. NJ has the chance to lead on this. Let’s not miss it. #MaternalMentalHealth #S1983 #A944 #SupportAPNs

THIS WILL BE THE THIRD TIME, if I’m not mistaken, that there will have been a recommendation to the DEA to make cannabis schedule three. Twice they have refused. If they do it again, I will say it again : Abolish the DEA.
