*National Media Update: We’re Breaking Through*

_Authority Magazine_ just featured *Families Rights Matter2* and our fight to close the deadly gaps in HIPAA, FERPA, and 988 protocols.

The article breaks down how families are locked out during mental health crises — and how our 10-Point Plan would have given families legal tools before the Shreveport tragedy.

*This is our moment to be heard.*
