Roland, thanks so much for introducing Dr. Johnson to us!

She mentioned that "funding is often directed toward grants that offer no real-life benefits." This doesn't surprise me.

I'd like to know her thoughts on The First Responders Wellness Act (S.4892), which was recently introduced by Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Josh Hawley in the U.S. Senate. It would expand mental health services for police officers and other first responders.

Here's more about it:

It's an honor to introduce Dr. Johnson. Let me know if Independent Women's Network have any interest in the Shepherds and Sheepdogs conference. I'd love to see you there.

Absolutely! I just replied to your email and registered for the S & S newsletter. : )

I will also bring this up during our next meeting. Though we're currently focused on how rogue prosecutors are adversely impacting women's safety, this is a topic I think we might want to address in the future, especially as it pertains to women.

Proper funding for actually-helpful programs would be great.

Good luck getting that from leftist politicians.

Proper funding going to actually-helpful programs would be a great.

However, when politicians are trying to get eradicate policing altogether, good luck obtaining funding from the left.
