Review HB 495 - prioritize youth mental health and ethics

To: Rep. Hampton, Sen. Nunn

From: A constituent in Stamping Ground, KY

March 29

Do NOT override Governor Beshear's Veto. The bill you reference, HB 495, aims to prohibit discrimination against mental health professionals who provide "protected counseling services" related to sexual orientation and gender identity. However, concerns have been raised about potential harm to LGBTQ+ youth from certain counseling practices. As elected representatives, you have a duty to carefully consider all perspectives and prioritize the wellbeing of Kentucky's children. I urge you to thoughtfully review the implications of this legislation and make a decision that upholds ethical standards while ensuring vulnerable young people receive affirmative and evidence-based mental health support. Protecting our kids must be the top priority.
