    Special Episode: Our Treatment Programs Need Your Help!

    In this special episode, Andy Goldstrom shares that our treatment programs are being threatened by celebrities, lobbyists and older recipients of treatment.  As a result, for those who care about our kids and their parents, we need to act.  Write an email imploring these governmental leaders to help our programs, not further restrict them or take them down.  If they do, this will be a real tragedy. Email addresses are: Utah State Senator Michael McKell – mmckell@le.utah.gov OR State Senator Sara Gelser Blouin – sen.saragelser@orgeonlegislature.gov CA Congressman Ro Khanna – https://khanna.house.gov/contact/email OR Sen. Jeff Merkley -  merkley@merkley.senate.gov Feel free to cc me on your emails - andy@parentsjourney.net. Thank you.
