Speak Up When You're Down



campaign for post-partum depression awareness






There Really Ought to be a Law!
by Andrea Medina - Senior SPAC


Shocked by the number of post-natal suicides in California in 2008, a Provisional League member from Los Angeles suggested there needed to be some sort of system to prepare doctors and related experts to deal with pre and post-natal depressed mothers.  This provisional entered her idea into the There Ought to be a Law Contest and her idea was selected by SPAC.  Two years later, ACR 105 declaring the month of May in California Perinatal Depression Awareness Month was signed into law.

In your work and community, have you ever thought, "there really ought to be a law about...", or "a law that did this would really help the people I support in my Junior League Project"?  If so, we want to hear from you!

Your ideas and suggestions could include ideas for new laws, a change in existing law, or any new legislation that supports our efforts in our four focus groups: education, family support, health and violence prevention.

Please email your idea for a new law, along with your contact information, JLB project that may be helped in this way (not a necessity) and any expert you know who we should talk to about this issue along with their contact information.  You can email me at andrea.medina4@gmail.com
