Imagine finally finding the courage to ask for help, only to be hung up on. 📞🚫

In Idaho that’s the law. Under the “Bandaid Bill” (SB 1329), mental health providers, including crisis hotlines, are now legally restricted from providing care or even follow-up support to minors without prior written parental consent.

While “parental rights” sounds like a good thing, this bill ignores a dangerous reality: Not every home is a safe home. For a teen in a volatile household asking for a signature to speak to a counselor is a risk. We need to restore the right of Idaho’s youth to access life-saving care the moment they need it.

🚨 Don’t let the line go dead 🚨

TAKE ACTION: Representative Barbara Ehardt was the lead sponsor of this bill. She NEEDS to know that we haven’t stopped watching, and we won’t stop fighting for Idaho’s kids.

1️⃣ CALL: 208-332-1189 
2️⃣ EMAIL: behardt@house.idaho.gov 
3️⃣ MESSAGE: “I am calling to demand a fix for SB 1329. Access to mental health care for minors should not be conditional on a signature when a life is on the line.”
